Dalai Lama's 90th Birthday, CPA Meet in Dharamsala

Dharamsala is currently hosting major events, including the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday celebrations and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) India Zone II conference. The Dalai Lama will meet senior Buddhist monks, deliver a pre-recorded message, and is expected to issue a written statement on his succession and potential reincarnation, a politically sensitive topic given China's claims. Heads of various Buddhist sects are attending a religious conference to discuss Tibetan Buddhism's future and honor the Dalai Lama. During the CPA conference at the Tapovan Vidhan Sabha Complex, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta met the Dalai Lama and invited him to visit the Delhi Assembly. The CPA conference features parliamentary leaders from northern India, focusing on governance in the digital era. These simultaneous events underscore Dharamsala's growing importance as a center for both religious and political discourse.
