His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written a response of thanks for the birthday wishes and long life blessings extended to him I’d like to share with you: “I would like to thank you deeply for the warm greetings that many of you have sent me on my birthday, 6 July 2019. I am now 84 years old, but I hope
to be able to celebrate the occasion with all of you for many more years to
come.
I have said before that if you would like to make me a birthday gift, the best you can do would be to help in fulfilling my three commitments—promoting deeper human values based on a sense of the oneness of humanity, with the aim of creating a more compassionate society; encouraging harmony and understanding among the world’s major religious traditions: And preserving the Tibetan language and culture, the heritage Tibetans received from the masters of India’s Nalanda University, while also working for the protection of Tibet’s natural environment. ...Much of the turmoil we witness across the world occurs because people are overwhelmed by disturbing emotions that can be difficult to tackle. I believe that the rich understanding of the workings of the mind and emotions that we find in ancient Indian traditions remains relevant today.
There would be great value in examining and applying this as a basic human discipline, and not from a religious point of view. Just as we teach physical hygiene to stay physically fit, we need to cultivate emotional
hygiene, learning to tackle our destructive emotions, so as to better achieve peace of mind.
Wherever I am, I share these ideas with anyone who wishes to listen. If you
would like to help, I would be grateful if you could do the same.” ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Bonus Jolly Lama Fun TBT - I grew up in the 60’s, like so many, enjoying all the music of the era, including Grateful Dead! Happy Birthday to Jerry Garcia to all the fellow Dead Heads out there and thanks for all the great music! (I bet you thought I only sang Tibetan chants!)

“Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life—not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love.”
