    So heartening to learn that.One of the trademark characteristic of HH the Dalai Lama is that not only he preaches love,compassion,benevolence,altruism,c-nsideration for others etc but he embodies it and practice it by himself.Even he has in his heart love and compassion for the brutal Chinese which invaded Tibet n forced him to take asylum in India.Homage abundance your Holiness…..
