"It’s a hard morning in the world today, a morning that follows a series of hard mornings. I feel like we are being inundated with surplus suffering, that our world is carrying so much pain. But as much as we would like to look away, it’s not what this moment calls for."

66 years ago today, His Holiness the Dalai Lama set out on his escape into exile from Chinese-occupied #Tibet.
Today, while #China’s illegal occupation of Tibet continues, the Dalai Lama is one of the most respected figures in the world, and the #Tibetan cause is alive and strong.
