His Holiness to visit Leh on 31st July '07

With the day approaching, traditional ceremonies that involves blessing small and large Buddha statues and Thangka's that will sit nearby the throne of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (decorations on the structure "White snow lions" are a symbol of strength) when the spiritual leader of Tibetans and Buddhist in general visits Leh on 31st July 2007 must be going on with constant watch by the Abbots in different monasteries around Leh.
The visit of His Holiness is for many a very important event, apart from some religious sermons, this time it is learnt that he will show them how to develop compassion, love and a good heart.
Around 5,000 to 10,000 Buddhists from around the country will descend on Leh when the Dalai Lama delivers a series of sermons, lectures and philosophical talks at Leh's sJiway Tsal("the place where compassion develops"), Choglamsar Leh. Buddhist nuns and monks from Taiwan, Bhutan and Vietnam and some Hollywood celebrities would be among the visitors. The Dalai Lama, who fled his homeland in 1959 following a failed uprising against China, has his government-in-exile in Dharamsala (H.P)in India. India is also home to some 100,000 Tibetan exiles.
I was there when the Tibetan leader addressed 10,000 people in the area in September 2005. The experience was so so good and I myself felt much privileged on being a Buddhist as it appeals to a person's individual responsibilities and have someone to belive in strongly. I feel, What is important for the Buddhist around are the values of compassion, generosity and wisdom, that the Dalai Lama also stands for.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1989 for his efforts to achieve a Non-Violent solution to the Tibetan problem, will visit Nubra valley and give religious discourse there at Diskit, Nubra and would likely to unveil a huge Buddha Maitreya Statue at Diskit Monastery.
MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH.
