90th birthday of the Dalai Lama
Richard Gere lives in India
Richard Gere traveled to India on the occasion of the 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama. There were touching scenes.
With a prayer for peace, the Dalai Lama committed his 90th birthday on July 6th. Thousands of believers celebrated the spiritual head of the Tibetans in Exile in Indian. US actor Richard Gere (75) also traveled to the ceremony in a temple in McLeod Ganj in the north of the country.
Richard Gere has been connected to the Dalai Lama for many years
The Hollywood star has been friends with the Dalai Lama for many years. He was brought up Protestant, but a trip to Nepal in 1978 brought him into contact with the eastern spirituality, which impressed him sustainably. Gere has been committed to Buddhism since the early 1990s. The former “Pretty Woman” star at times lives in Dharamsala, he founded the Tibet House in New York and supports the exile government of the free tibet. When he criticized China’s Tibet policy as part of the 1993 Oscar Awards, the Chinese declared him persona non grata. In 2018, the converted Buddhist and his pregnant third wife Alejandra Silva blessed her unborn baby from Dalai Lama.
Richard Gere did not miss the opportunity to be there at the round of his friend’s day. Once again there were familiar scenes between the two men: Richard Gere kissed the Dalai Lama in awe on the back of the hand, which in turn stroked his head. The Hollywood star also gave a short speech and said it was a “joyful, joyful day” to “celebrate this extraordinary life”.
The celebrations on the occasion of the 90th birthday have been running for a few days. On June 30th, Richard Gere already took part in a ceremony in the Tsuglakhang Temple in Dharamsala. He was photographed with his hands on prayer while smiling at his friend.
At a Tibetan Youth Forum in Dharamsala, Indian, the actor had also recognized the head of the Tibetans in advance and described him as pioneering for his own development.
The 14th Dalai Lama since 1474
The Tibetans believe that the Dalai Lama is born again after his death. The 14th Dalai Lama (since 1474) Tenzin Gyatso was born on July 6, 1935 in a small village in the northeast of Tibet as the second son of a total of 16 children of a farmer family.
He was less than two years old when a delegation of four Buddhist monks after mystical visions and oracle sayings found him as a rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama, who died in 1933.
