As we celebrate today the historic event marking the 86th anniversary of His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai Lama’s enthronement upon the Golden Throne at the Potala Palace, the Kashag extends its warmest greetings to Tibetans inside and outside of Tibet, and to all friends of Tibet.
Eighty-six years ago, on 17 July 1939, the young child Lhamo Thondup, together with his parents and retinue, departed from Kumbum Jampa Ling, the birthplace of Je Tsongkhapa, Tibet’s preeminent scholar. This departure followed his recognition as the true reincarnation as His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai Lama after three years of meticulous search, investigation and divine oracular decrees. On 8 October 1939, His Holiness arrived safely at the Norbulingka Palace at the nation’s capital, Lhasa.
