Dharamsala: Tibetan spiritual leader and Nobel Peace Laureate Dalai Lama on Tuesday endorsed the recent appeal for peace made by Pope Leo XIV.

In a message issued from Dharamsala, the Buddhist leader emphasised that "violence has no place in any spiritual tradition", highlighting the shared values of compassion, tolerance, and harmony across religions.

Endorsing the Pope's call made during the Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square, the Dalai Lama said "the appeal for laying down arms and renouncing violence deeply resonated him, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach".
