Dear John,

Today’s the day to honor the spiritual leader of Tibet—and an inspiration to millions of people across the world: His Holiness the Dalai Lama is turning 85 years old!

John, please join me in celebrating this special occasion by sending a message of gratitude for all that His Holiness does for Tibetans, and people around the world.

The Dalai Lama’s wise words have been shared many times over to bring wisdom and joy, comfort people in hard times and uplift communities dealing with trauma and persecution. By his peaceful actions, he shows his unwavering commitment to compassion, even while he—like so many Tibetan people—has been exiled and persecuted.

As an ICT supporter, you have followed his example by speaking up for justice for Tibetans and all oppressed people. Today is your opportunity to honor the Dalai Lama’s lifelong leadership for the Tibetan cause and human rights around the world.

Please take a moment to bring your gratitude into the world by sharing a special message in honor of His Holiness’ 85th birthday!

In these troubled times, the Dalai Lama’s leadership for peace and justice gives us all something to celebrate. Thank you for your support of the Tibetan people and for honoring His Holiness on this special day.

With Gratitude,

Tencho Gyatso
Director of Outreach
