Dalai Lama’s 72nd birthday in Nepal

Tibetans were all out in full force to celebrate His Holiness's 72nd birthday in Kathmandu with a grand display of traditional songs and dances..a sight to behold ..watched by what must have been more than 2000 people sweltering in the hot afternoon sun..

The celebrations started with a long life prayer for His Holiness followed by the Tibetan National Anthem. Countless khatas were also offered @ the throne in front of HH's portrait..

**what a cutie!

It was truly an auspicious day to begin with as we saw double rainbows and double "suns" early in the morning at 6am ..there were 2 sets of sun rays ..one from the east and the other from the west..what a sight to behold..

**Happy Hikaru soaking in the grand atmosphere ...

PEACE!




Prayer for the Long Life of His Holiness:

In the land encirled by snow mountains

You are the source of all happiness & good

All powerful Chenrezig, Tenzin Gyatso,

Please remain till samsara ends...
