Thekchen Chöling, Dharamsala, HP, India - His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to The Most Reverend Leopoldo Girelli, The Apostolic Nuncio to India to express his sadness on learning that His Holiness Pope Francis has passed away. He wrote that he offered prayers and condolences to his spiritual brothers, sisters and to his followers around the world.
“His Holiness Pope Francis dedicated himself to the service of others,” he added, “consistently revealing by his own actions how to live a simple, but meaningful life. The best tribute we can pay to him is to be a warm-hearted person, serving others wherever and in whatever way we can.”
A memorial service is being held by the Tibetan community at the Tsuglagkhang, the Main Tibetan Temple, here in Dharamsala.
His Holiness closed his letter, “With my prayers.”
