Congratulating Donald Trump November 7, 2024

Share

Thekchen Chöling, Dharamsala, HP, India - His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the Presidential election.

“I have long admired the United States of America as the champion of democracy, freedom and the rule of law,” he wrote. “The world places great hope in the democratic vision and leadership of the U.S.A. In these times of great uncertainty and upheaval in several parts of the world, it is my hope that you will provide leadership in bringing about peace and stability.

“The Tibetan people and I have been honoured to have received the support of respective U.S. Presidents and the American people, in our endeavour to protect and preserve our ancient Buddhist culture—a culture of peace, non-violence and compassion that has the potential to benefit humanity as a whole.

His Holiness concluded, “I wish you every success in meeting the many challenges that lie ahead in fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the American people and in contributing to peace in the world.”
