Happy to announce the formal opening of the Tibet Museum. I congratulate & thank the previous Kashag & all the parties involved in this vital project. I hope the Museum will play a greater role in sharing the struggles of Tibetan people & garnering support for the cause of Tibet.

Watch this extraordinary interview with Sabina Batt, a Tibetan Muslim who works for the Central Tibetan Administration. A model of tolerance, compassion & intelligence—which we can all use during these times. #FreeTibet #compassion https://t.co/sTrabPJItB

Mount Kailash is located in western Tibet and is a sacred site in Tibetan Buddhism, Bon and Hinduism.

The mountain's Tibetan name is Gangs Rinpoche, meaning "precious jewel of snows". It is a major pilgrimage site for Buddhists. #WorldReligionDay

A very long but essential read from 2019 on the Dalai Lama and his struggles to keep Tibetan culture alive in exile. The photos alone are priceless, as well as his reservations about Donald Trump. #compassion #hhdl https://t.co/2GhuDIgsGQ

A happier world, at times, seems a very long way away; but here is the path towards that world. #compassion #HHDL

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

In my experience, what we need is a calm mind and warm-heartedness provides a basis for that. That's how we make ourselves happy as individuals in families, local communities and nations. If we can train those who are young today in these qualities we’ll create a happier world.
