Bylakuppe: His Holiness Dalai Lama has harped on the need for love, compassion and care for senior citizens.
Veteran Tibetan Shri Phuntsok was blessed by His Holiness, who is known for his care for poor people.
Meeting elderly people aged 80 and above years at Bylakuppe Tibetan Settlement here on 8 January, His Holiness said ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes them above all else.
Shri Phuntsok’s Grand Daughter Tenzin Tsomo accompanied Shri Phuntsok. Tenzin Tsomo is Daughter of Rither Tesring, a leading farmer and entrepreneur. Shri Tsering is an ardent follower of His Holiness Dalai Lama and a very caring personality.
His Holiness harped on the need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence. It results from the profound interdependence we all share with one another.
However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive.
However vigorous and independent one may feel during the most prosperous periods of life, when one is sick or very young or very old, one must depend on the support of others.
His Holiness is staying at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Bylakuppe.
