THE PLEDGE BOOK, A UNIQUE OFFERING TO HIS HOLINESS

His Holiness's reach stretches far and wide. He is regarded as an incarnation of Chenrezig, the deity of Compassion. We are assembling a Pledge Book of our compassionate deeds to offer to His Holiness which will contain pledges from around the world and of every faith and tradition; loving kindness knows no boundaries! This book will be a compilation of OUR acts of compassion that WE pledge to perform as a gift to His Holiness. Members are encouraged to make a thoughtful pledge of compassion in honor of His Holiness. No matter how large or small, this will make the world a kinder and more loving place.

BIRTHDAY GIFT TO HIS HOLINESS, PLEDGE BOOK will be offered to His Holiness shortly after his birthday, 6 July each year. To make your pledge, please, go to our Pledge Forum. Pledges made after 6 July 2010, will be offered to His Holiness in the following year.

GRATITUDE BOOK

When we offer our PLEDGE BOOK to His Holiness, we will also be offering him a GRATITUDE BOOK. This is an opportunity for us to express our appreciation for His Holiness's tireless work in the world. Please post here

EVENTS

Whether you are an individual or an organization, you can enter an event and event details on our Events page to share how you are commemorating this historic day.

HISTORY OF OUR NETWORK

This network was originally named: Dalai Lama; 50 Years in Exile.
The date March 17, 2009 commemorated the historic occasion of His Holiness's 50th year in exile. On the weekend of March 14-15, 2009, spiritual centers, cultural groups and citizens all around the world joined in commemorating this historic occasion. This websites purpose was to make a unique offering to His Holiness and pledges of compassionate deeds and offerings of gratitude were sent to His Holiness shortly after March 17, 2009.

We established this network in consultation with a representative of the Office of Tibet. The local representative of His Holiness said this Network is a good idea and has agreed to pass all our pledges and expressions of gratitude on to His Holiness and send us confirmation when this has been done.

HIS HOLINESS, THE DALAI LAMA IN EXILE

On Mar 17, 1959, tumultuous events forced His Holiness the Dalai Lama to leave his homeland. With a small entourage, His Holiness began an epic 15 day journey that would bring him to the safety of Indian soil. Now, as we look back 50 years, the significance of that journey dawns. The footsteps which took His Holiness out of Tibet were also steps towards the rest of the world. Today, it is difficult to imagine a world community without the gift of His Holiness's presence. Walk in His Holiness's shoes on his epic 15 day journey by joining The Journey Group

GROUPS, BLOGS AND PHOTO GALLERY

Participants can interact, inform, discuss ideas and develop synergies with other organizations and individuals around the world to promote loving kindness and understanding. A photo gallery is available for participants to upload pictures of their local events and of His Holiness.

Here is to inform you that the Office of His Holiness

Sincerely,
OFFICE OF TIBET
