The dust has begun to settle in the hill station of Dharamsala, where Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, celebrated his 90th birthday in the presence of a host of dignitaries, venerable rinpoches, ordinary lamas, and countless visitors.
On July 2, the world-revered Tibetan spiritual leader reaffirmed that the institution of the Dalai Lama was here to stay. A few months earlier, in the book Voice for the Voiceless, he had clarified: “Since the purpose of a reincarnation is to carry on the work of the predecessor, the new Dalai Lama will be born in the free world (outside China).”
