The Dalai Lama went to the Tsuglagkhang, the main Tibetan Buddhist Temple at McLeodganj, on Sunday and joined hundreds of people who had gathered there to recite prayers to the Medicine Buddha.

The event was organised and led by monks and Lamas of Sera Mé Monastic College in honour of Dalai Lama’s forthcoming 90th birthday and the Year of Compassion announced by the Central Tibetan Administration.

Dalai Lama also gave the oral transmission of an invocation to Palden Lhamo that he composed some years ago.

After taking part in the prayers for a little more than an hour, he left the temple and drove back to his residence.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
