With profound sadness, I was very saddened, and we mourn the passing of Prince Gyalo Dhondup, elder brother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, at the age of 97 — a legendary leader whose wisdom, strength, and compassion touched countless lives. His unwavering dedication and selfless service to Tibet and its people will be remembered forever.
His legacy of integrity, courage, and devotion will continue to inspire generations. We will always honor his tireless work for Tibet, his lifelong dedication to a free Tibet, and uphold the values he championed. His kindness to the Tibetan people will never be forgotten.
H.E. Ling Rinpoche led the consecration and opening ceremony for the new prayer assembly hall of Gaden Shartse Lhopa Khangtsen and also gave a talk to the gathering of monks and guests.
