Celebrations for His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Birthday

HELD AT KAMALASHILA TIBETAN BUDDHIST CENTRE
6 July 2025

His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday celebrations at Kamalashila were held on 6 July. Such a beautiful and joyous morning was shared with our local community on this wonderful occasion. 

The morning started with 108 light offerings for His Holiness’s Long Life, followed by shamatha practice and a guided meditation from His Holiness’s teachings on equanimity and compassion. We then offered His Holiness birthday cake and khatas whilst reciting His Long-Life Prayer. We all then enjoyed cake and tea. 
​
Everyone expressed how happy they were to come and celebrate His Holiness’s life. May His Holiness continue to live a long and healthy life for the benefit of all mother sentient beings. Thank you, Kathleen, for baking and offering such a delicious cake.
