Dalai Lama Announces Plan To Devolve Political Role To Elected Leader Print E-mail

In his 10th March statement on the 52nd Tibetan National Uprising Day, the Dalai Lama expressed his desire to fully devolve power to Kalon Tripa, the elected leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile, a vision he has held as a young man in Tibet which has gradually been realised over the years in exile.

He said, “As early as the 1960s, I have repeatedly stressed that Tibetans need a leader, elected freely by the Tibetan people, to whom I can devolve power. Now, we have clearly reached the time to put this into effect. During the forthcoming eleventh session of the fourteenth Tibetan parliament in exile, which begins on 14th March, I will formally propose that the necessary amendments be made to the Charter for Tibetans in Exile, reflecting my decision to devolve my formal authority to the elected leader.” Read more

A beacon of truth and hope, a scholar, a teacher, an inspiration to millions, the ultimate Tibetan and a key to greater peace in the world - the Dalai Lama is many things.

To be present during one of his visits to Australia is to witness the extraordinary moral authority and respect granted to His Holiness from individuals from all walks of life. Whether Tibetan or non-Tibetan, Buddhist or non-Buddhist, whether a world leader, faith leader, scientist, doctor, scholar or humble follower, few are untouched by the Dalai Lama’s practical wisdom and simple acts of truth and compassion.

On the occasion of his 75th birthday we pause to look back on His Holiness’s life and accomplishments so far and uncover why few individuals are more deserving of our attention today than the Dalai Lama. Read more
