An eighth century Nalanda Master, Shantideva advised that we examine the situation we find ourselves in. "I believe that when there is fear it makes the effect of the illness worse. So many doctors and nurses are putting themselves at risk." I appreciate their efforts and the help they are giving so many people - both those who are doing research and those who are giving treatment and care. "Many experts are paying attention to it, so I have nothing to add. "This illness is serious," His Holiness responded to a question on the global pandemic. I feel this is because my mind is peaceful as a result of my cultivating altruism, the awakening mind of 'bodhichitta'." Replying to Mind & Life Institute President Susan Bauer-Wu in a virtual conversation on June 20, the spiritual leader said, "You'll have to judge from my face. With the celebrations right around the corner amid the ongoing COVID restrictions, Tibetans around the world are ringing in the 85th birthday of their supreme leader and the 'Year of Gratitude' with virtual tributes and celebrations planned on a grand scale throughout the year. Likewise, TTV will broadcast a series of films and documentaries in tribute to His Holiness every Wednesday starting July 1. The Tibetan Institute Performing Arts will dedicate this year's Yarkyi musical tribute to the Dalai Lama and for the first time, broadcast it live via TTV to provide relief and healing for people around the world who are battling the emotional distress and anxieties of COVID-19. Starting July 1, the CTA has lined up a series of virtual events to celebrate the birthday. In appreciation of all his outstanding contributions, the CTA and Tibetans around the world will observe the year as 'Year of Gratitude' and endeavour to share, promote and celebrate the teachings and the lifework of the Dalai Lama. "Such is the grand lifework and contribution to the preservation of Tibet's cultural, religious, historical, and linguistic heritage as well as to the promotion of non-violence, human rights, religious tolerance, environmental awareness, and democracy around the world," Sangay said.
