91rst Birthday Celebration for H.H. Dalai Lama at Giant Pool Balls in Münster, Germany 🙏🙏🙏

12/07/2026

THANK YOU MESSAGE

I would like to thank you all for your greetings on my 91st birthday. As I mentioned to those gathered here in Leh, Ladakh, India on 6 July, when I look back on my life, I see that the core of my practice has been to be of benefit to others. That is the altruistic motivation with which I wake up every day.

Spreading compassion and kindness continues to be my life's primary mission. Such an attitude is essential to making our world a better place for everyone. I therefore call on my brothers and sisters everywhere, both young and old, to practice warm-heartedness and compassion, with genuine concern for the well-being of others. To be able to do so is, I believe, what it means to lead a meaningful and purposeful life of service.

As you may be aware, following a successful medical procedure on my left knee in New Delhi last month, I have since been recuperating here in Ladakh. As in past years, I find the climate here at this time of year well suited to my health, and I therefore plan to remain in Ladakh for the next several weeks.

With my prayers and good wishes,

DALAI LAMA

A Tibetan monk has disappeared, and only now has his fate come to light.
❗ Dhargye was around 64 years old when he was arrested in Lhasa in August 2021. After that, all trace of him was lost. Only now, years later, has it emerged that he was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment in a secret trial. During this time, his family had no contact with him whatsoever.
❗His case is not an isolated one: in Tibet, arrests without transparent proceedings occur time and again. People disappear without their relatives knowing where they are or what they are accused of. Human rights organisations refer to such cases as enforced disappearances.
Such cases often remain hidden – and that is precisely why raising awareness is crucial.

Ein tibetischer Mönch verschwindet und erst jetzt wird sein Schicksal bekannt.

❗ Dhargye war etwa 64 Jahre alt, als er im August 2021 in Lhasa festgenommen wurde. Danach verlor sich jede Spur. Erst jetzt, Jahre später, ist bekannt geworden, dass er in einem geheimen Verfahren zu sieben Jahren Haft verurteilt wurde. Während dieser Zeit hatte seine Familie keinerlei Kontakt zu ihm.

❗Sein Fall ist kein Einzelfall: In Tibet kommt es immer wieder zu Festnahmen ohne transparente Verfahren. Menschen verschwinden, ohne dass ihre Angehörigen erfahren, wo sie sind oder was ihnen vorgeworfen wird. Menschenrechtsorganisationen sprechen in solchen Fällen von erzwungenem Verschwindenlassen.

Solche Fälle bleiben oft unsichtbar – und genau deshalb ist Aufmerksamkeit entscheidend.

⚠️ The so-called “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity” amounts to the systematic criminalisation of Tibetan identity.
⚠️ It intensifies repression and threatens entire cultures under Chinese rule.
