In the past few days, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama has been at the heart of poignant Tibetan exile events in Dharamsala. On Monday, February 23, he attended a massive long-life prayer ceremony at the Main Tibetan Temple in McLeodganj, drawing about 4000 devotees, according to the Office of His Holiness website and Times of India reports. Former political prisoners from 15 countries and the Lhasa Boys Association from Switzerland led the prayers, with emotional pleas read by ex-prisoner Ngawang Sangdrol—arrested at 13 and jailed 11 years—detailing repression in Tibet, like forced denunciations of the Dalai Lama for jobs, curbs on religious sites, and erosion of Tibetan language, as covered by Phayul and ANI via Tribune India.
The day before, on Sunday February 22, exiles marked the 86th anniversary of his 1940 enthronement with a grand commemoration at Tsuglagkhang, featuring Nobel winner Kailash Satyarthi, Philippine MPs, and Central Tibetan Administration head Penpa Tsering, who slammed Chinese myths about his recognition, per Times of India and tibet.net. Tsering also led prayers mourning the Dalai Lamas younger brother Ngari Rinpoche, who passed February 17 at 80.
No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but earlier this month lingers: his office firmly denied any Epstein links on February 8 via dalailama.com and Phayul, calling out Russian and Chinese media smears amid released files—pure disinformation, with Indian leaders like Kiren Rijiju rallying in support. Business-wise, quiet; no fresh social media mentions beyond official webcasts of the long-life event in multiple languages.
These gatherings underscore his enduring symbol of hope amid succession tensions—watch that space for biographical ripples.
