The blessings of the Dalai Lama:
For the last 10 days, every morning shortly before 8 am, hundreds of Tibetans and a couple of Westerners like us, as well as a few Indian tourists have the privilege to greet His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Holding the right hand of His Holiness the Karmapa and the left hand of His Eminence Sakya Trinzin, like a father with his two sons, surrounded by a dozen of Tibetan Lamas, the Dalai Lama walks from the gate of his residence to the Namgyal Temple. The love and compassion of this incredibly great being irradiates the whole compound and fills the heart of all of us with infinite joy…This morning, His Holiness as he did his walk stopped a couple of seconds to greet and comfort a very old Tibetan woman causing some anxious moments for his security guards…

For security reasons, cameras and phones are not allowed on the compound. But we show you a picture of the Namgyal Temple, the very place where every morning since the 19th May, His Holiness gives a commentary on the Guhyasamaja Tantra to hundreds of Tibetan monks, nuns, lay people and a couple of Westerners...Today is the last day.
