LEH: Tibetan spiritual leader The Dalai Lama will visit the Union Territory of Ladakh for a month, beginning from July 10. This was informed by Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA) president Thupstan Chhewang.
Chhewang was addressing a press conference here.
“His Holiness The Dalai Lama will be arriving for a month-long visit to Ladakh on July 10, His Holiness’ office has confirmed,” the LBA president informed.
It may be mentioned that the Ladakh Buddhist Association, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Leh and the UT administration have already started making arrangements.
Chief Executive Councillor-cum-Chairman Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Leh Tashi Gyalson has undertaken a number of visits to different parts of the district to personally oversee the arrangements being made for the visit of the Tibetan spiritual leader.
During this month-long visit, the Dalai Lama will tour several areas in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Last year also, The Dalai Lama had visited Ladakh for nearly a month and addressed several religious programmes. The Dalai Lama had addressed various spiritual gatherings and visited places of importance. He had also met people from all walks of life. This year, too, he is expected to address the gatherings to bless the people.
