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

My visit to Argentina has been a productive one. I am confident that our discussions will add significant momentum to our bilateral friendship and fulfil the strong potential that exists. I thank President Milei, the Government, and the people of Argentina for their warmth.

One of my happiest places on Earth.
Twenty years ago, a nature-depleted field—
now a haven for wildflowers, birds, butterflies… the gentle, humming miracle of life.
Restoration takes time, care, and a quiet apprenticeship to wild wisdom.
Happy Earth Day!

Considering possibility of keeping cows on redwood forests of pacific northwest. Conditions will be prestine for them. Cut off half the Douglas Fir and plant Paulownia, Empress Splendor trees in their place alongside Redwoods. D. Fir are invasive and keep redwood saplings from growing.
Any thoughts on keeping cows in the redwoods of pacific northwest? Grow Redwoods alongside Empress splendor Paulownia trees, instead of Douglas Fir. Cows graze on the fallen Paulownia leaves. Paulownia roots go down deep from 3 to 8 feet. Redwood roots on the other hand are shallow, go down to 3 feet under ground. Paulonia fix nitrogen in the soil and can nourish Redwoods and help them grow faster and bigger, sequestering more carbon dioxide.
Billions of animals raised for food are never allowed to enjoy our planet's simple pleasures; they never get to touch grass, feel the warmth of the sun, or even breathe fresh air. Instead, they're crowded together in filthy sheds for their entire lives. #EarthDay
