🔖 Wonderful to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s portrait featured in the "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦: 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬," President George W. Bush’s powerful new collection of stories and oil paintings spotlighting courageous individuals and their struggles for freedom.
The new book, which will be published by Crown, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, is due to be released on M̳a̳r̳c̳h̳ ̳9̳,̳ ̳2̳0̳2̳7̳. It includes two print editions: a jacketed hardcover edition and an oversized, deluxe edition signed by President Bush.
For Tibetans and friends of Tibet, this portrait is especially meaningful given the special and enduring relationship shared by the Dalai Lama and President Bush, including the historic 2007 Congressional Gold Medal ceremony honoring His Holiness. Deeply grateful that this special connection and His Holiness’s lifelong commitment to freedom, nonviolence, and human dignity is reflected in this new book.

Today, on Prime Minister Modi’s birthday, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to him to offer his warmest greetings and prayers for his continued good health.
“May I congratulate you on India's emergence as a confident and strong nation,” he wrote. “This great country's success also contributes significantly to global peace, stability and development.
“I consider myself a proud messenger of India, which presents to the world an example of Ahimsa and Karuna — peace and harmony born from India's ancient wisdom.
“Once again, I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the Government and people of India for the warm and generous hospitality shown to me and my fellow Tibetans for well over 67 years now.”
His Holiness concluded by offering prayers and good wishes once more. @narendramodi @DalaiLama

प्रधानमन्त्री बालेन्द्र शाहसँग कुराकानी गरेँ र नेपालमा आएको बाढीका कारण ज्यान गुमाउनेहरूप्रति समवेदना व्यक्त गरेँ। यस कठिन समयमा भारतका जनता नेपालका आफ्ना दिदीबहिनी तथा दाजुभाइहरूसँग ऐक्यबद्ध भई साथै उभिएका छन्।
भारत नेपाललाई सम्भव भएसम्मका सबै प्रकारका मानवीय सहायता उपलब्ध गराउन तयार छ। हाम्रा टोलीहरू उद्धार तथा राहत प्रयासहरूमा नजिकबाट समन्वय गरिरहेका छन्।

Deeply saddened to hear of the devastating flash floods and mudslides along the Tibet-Nepal border. The news of casualties and widespread destruction in Kyirong County, Shigatse (Tibet), and in Nepal, and of the hundreds still missing, is heartbreaking.
On behalf of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan people, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and to all those affected by this catastrophe. I pray for the safety of all those missing. 🙏🏼

We have been following reports of the devastating mudslides and flooding in Kyirong (Chinese: Gyirong) County, Tibet and Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected on both sides of the border — families who have lost loved ones, the many who remain missing or injured, and the communities confronting this unfolding disaster.
We hope for the swift and safe rescue of all those still trapped or unaccounted for, and we commend the brave responders and local communities undertaking search and rescue efforts in extremely difficult circumstances. While Nepal is providing timely information and avenues for international humanitarian assistance, we hope that, in Tibet, disaster relief efforts will be accompanied by timely and transparent information and unhindered access for humanitarian support.
