Phuntsog Wangyal* remembers the Dalai Lama as a bearer of timeless message for the good of humanity
I had the privilege of serving as the first Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his office in London from its inception in 1981 until 1986. On this occasion of the 90th birthday (6th July 2025) of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, I would like to share my reflections of His Holiness’s visits to the West during my tenure in the 1980s.
Wherever he went, His Holiness was seen as a man of transparent and humble personal integrity whose words touched the hearts and minds of those he met. His message, then as now, focused on how peace in the world can be achieved by cultivating peace within the individual heart, and how kindness, tolerance, and compassion can overcome even the most pressing problems of the modern age, such as economic inequality and global conflict.
