90th Birthday Message

On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in initiatives that highlight the importance of compassion, warm-heartedness, and altruism.

I am just a simple Buddhist monk; I don’t normally engage in birthday celebrations. However, since you are organizing events focused on my birthday I wish to share some thoughts.

While it is important to work for material development, it is vital to focus on achieving peace of mind through cultivating a good heart and by being compassionate, not just toward near and dear ones, but toward everyone. Through this, you will contribute to making the world a better place.

As for myself, I will continue to focus on my commitments of promoting human values, religious harmony, drawing attention to the ancient Indian wisdom which explains the workings of mind and emotions, and Tibetan culture and heritage, which has so much potential to contribute to the world through its emphasis on peace of mind and compassion.

I develop determination and courage in my daily life through the teachings of the Buddha and Indian masters such as Shantideva, whose following aspiration I strive to uphold.

As long as space endures,
As long as sentient being remain,
Until then, may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.

Thank you for using the opportunity of my birthday to cultivate peace of mind and compassion.

Tashi Deleg and with prayers,

Dalai Lama

Unter Trump verscherbeln die USA das Eigentum der Amerikaner an Milliardäre für ein Apfel und nen Ei.

BREAKING: Twitter has backtracked and reinstated the account of Alexei Navalny’s widow, @yulia_navalnaya. However, she LOST hundreds of thousands of her new followers.

Please follow Yulia’s account and help it grow to MILLIONS of followers! ♥️

Germany just became the 3rd largest economy
But why is it so rich?
Work ethic?
Here's a huge factor: Geography 🧵

I would vote for President Jimmy Carter in his current condition before I voted for Trump.

100% not joking.

Another Trump presidency would destroy America.

England: Ukrainian ambulance riddled with bullets from Russian fascists brought to London to hammer the message home.
If Ukraine is not armed to repel Russia's invasion, other countries will have to suffer through Putin's barbarism next - Torture, rape, castration, beheading.

Five healthcare giants - Bridgepoint, Bupa, Centene, Spire, UnitedHealth Group - have won a share of the NHS contracts worth £70 bn.

All have history of scandals.

NHS privatised.

Each £1 of privatisation buys less, 30%-40% vanishes in profits.

Charles Lindbergh speaking in 1940:

“I’ve been forced to the conclusion that we can’t win this war for England regardless of how much assistance we send”

If Lindberg would’ve been listened to, there would’ve been a Nazi Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok

Ten years ago Ukrainians made their choice, a choice of independence, democracy, and unity with the whole world. This choice remains unchanged. Together, in unity, we will protect our country and people.

Privatised British Gas owners Centrica paid a dividend worth £144m to shareholders last year.

Funded by a cap that isn't working for consumers.

Under public ownership that money could be used to control household bills and invest in the network.
