The Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his condolence message for Queen Elizabeth II passing away remembered seeing her pictures during his young days in Tibet. The longest-serving monarch of the UK died at the age of 96 on Thursday afternoon at her Scottish estate.
After reigning for 70 years, the death of the Queen was mourned by people across the world. The Dalai Lama also wrote a letter of condolences to her son, now King Charles III. His Holiness explained in the letter that he has early memories of seeing pictures of the Queen’s coronation while in Tibet.
“I remember seeing photographs of her coronation in magazines when I was young in Tibet,” His Holiness wrote. “Her reign, as Britain’s longest-serving monarch, represented celebration, inspiration, and a reassuring sense of continuity for many people alive today.
Buckingham palace announce in their official statement that she died ‘peacefully’ in her sleep. QEII was being held under ‘medical supervision’ following concerns from her doctors. Medical experts have suggested that she was suffering from peripheral vascular disease from one of the pictures she snapped recently.
The spiritual leader in his letter said that QEII lived a meaningful life with dignity, grace, and a great sense of service. “Your mother lived a meaningful life with dignity, grace, a strong sense of service, and a warm heart, qualities we all should treasure.”
His Holiness’s letter concluded with his offering his prayers and good wishes.
