His Holiness addressed the congregation:

“Here today we have representatives of gods and human beings gathering the auspicious circumstances for my long life, making your prayers intensely and sincerely. On my part it is clear that I have a connection to Avalokiteshvara. Ever since I was a child I’ve felt I had this connection and I have been able to serve the Buddha Dharma and the beings of Tibet. I still hope to live to be more than 130 years old.

“In China I met with Mao Zedong who told me that religion is poison. I didn’t respond, but I felt compassion for him. Later, I met Nehru. Throughout my life I’ve met people who had an interest in religion and those who did not. Of course, people have different mental dispositions, different inclinations and interests, as is clearly stated in our scriptures. This is quite natural.

“So, we need to engage in methods to bring about happiness and alleviate their sufferings that accord with people’s mental dispositions. Even those with no religious belief strive to be happy and avoid suffering. Modern scientists don’t talk much about religion, but they too seek to be happy and without suffering. Everyone does their best to be happy and to avoid misery. We Tibetans don’t want to suffer we want to be happy.

“We have lived in Tibet for centuries. We have prayed to Jowo Lokeshvara, Jo Yisshin Norbu and created collective karma. We, myself included, had to flee our country. And although we are physically separate, deep in my heart I always remain faithful to Jowo Lokeshvara. We all know that Avalokiteshvara gives his blessings. I have received clear indications that his blessings are here with me.

“As soon as I wake up in the morning, I make a prayer and reflect on bodhichitta in order to fulfil the aims of myself and others. In this way I generate the mind of awakening. I always intend and pray to be able to benefit all beings, including animals. For the last many years, Avalokiteshvara had been there on the crown of my head. I feel his blessings are always there and fall upon me.

“Human beings like you make offerings for my long life. Your dedication is unshakable and single pointed. During the cultural revolution in China, they made collective efforts which gave them strength. For us too, if we maintain our single-pointed faith in Avalokiteshvara and make supplications to him, it will yield results. I too will make such prayers.

“I came from Dhomey, the north-eastern part of Tibet and when I review the various prophecies, I feel I have the blessings of Avalokiteshvara and I’ve done my best so far. And I hope to live for another 30 or 40 years more.

“We’ve lost our country and live in exile in India, but I’ve been able to benefit beings. Living here in Dharamsala I intend to benefit beings and the Dharma as much as I can. I visualize Avalokiteshvara on the crown of my head and I trust in him. You too should make prayers to Avalokiteshvara.

“The essence of the Buddha Dharma is bodhichitta. We make this prayer—to fulfil the aims of myself and others I generate the mind of awakening. You should do that too. That’s all, thank you.”

ただ好きな人がいるというのは
どういうことだろう

人生で一度だけ
高野山ですれ違って
シャッターを切ったラマさま

All beings deserve

ラマ様は
慈悲の人

どうして

Strive しなければ
Suffering があるのか

ただ
happiness だけが慈悲の人であってもいいのに

それで
ラマ様を癒す
ヒーリングをした

受けたエネルギーは
とても美しい

あのチベットの神さまたち
曼荼羅そのもの
色
カラーとエネルギー

うつくしく
つながるもの

あの「絵画」
どっかにあるのかな？
それとも
仏師というか
描くことできる人たちは
「私が今日みたあの神様の絵」
をこの物質世界に
「描く」ことができるのだろうか？

エネルギーとして
見える色
(ヴィジュアライズというものとは違う

「ただある」色のエネルギー！)

世界中に
ラマ様のために祈る人々はいるのに

どうして
ラマ様は
チベットの人たちは

Away from HOMEの人生を
慈悲の人として
生きることになったのか

こんなに綺麗なエネルギーなのに

どうして
奪う人がいる？
聖地を
伝統を
奪う人類の病の一部

とてもうつくしいエネルギーと繋がる

ラマ様への癒し

これから
(なるべく忘れないで)

朝起きたら一番に
ラマ様に癒しを送ろう

とても
気持ちのいいエネルギーとともに

「ここにあること」ができる目覚め

Blessings are always there
Coming to me

こういうことかも！
このエネルギー！
ラマ様への癒し！

Long Life プージャー

時間
光
あそこに近い

光のカーテン

時の流れの止まった
流れ続ける光

そこにある
ない玉座

それに近い

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

5 July 2025
