His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Birthday greetings to Archbishop Tutu

STATEMENT OF HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA ON MARCH 10, 2011

His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave statement on the 52nd Anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day on 10 March 2011 at Main Cathedral, Dharamshala, India.

The english translation is given below.

Today marks the 52nd anniversary of the Tibetan people’s peaceful uprising of 1959 against Communist China’s repression in the Tibetan capital Lhasa, and the third anniversary of the non-violent demonstrations that took place across Tibet in 2008. On this occasion, I would like to pay tribute to and pray for those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for the just cause of Tibet. I express my solidarity with those who continue to suffer repression and pray for the well-being of all sentient beings.

JFK'S INAUGURAL SPEECH

Friends,

I am posting the visual of Kennedy's inaugural speech, which is still remembered and praised worldwide as one of the favorite speech addressed till time. It is such a delight to listen to his speech over and over again. My best quote since my school days is of Kennedy, that is "Ask not what your country can do for you, Ask what you can do for your country."

Enjoy listening to Kennedy's speech.

Regards,

Tenzin Lekshay
