28 Thank you INDIA thank you india 2018 March 31, 2018 marks the beginning of the 60 th year, since His Holiness the Dalai Lama stepped on the sacred land of India. Tibet is inextricably linked to India and Tibetans refer to India as Gyagar Phagpay Yul or India-the land of Aryas. His Holiness the Dalai Lama refers to India as the Guru and Tibet its Chela. His Holiness calls himself the Son of India and a true follower of Mahatma Gandhi. He continues to advocate the revival of India s ancient wisdom based on the Nalanda tradition. Today, His Holiness is the best ambassador for Indian values of non-violence, ahimsa and inter-religious harmony and the promotion of basic human values: compassion and kindness. India has been a second home for Tibetan people and have provided profound support for the Tibetan freedom struggle. The President of Central Tibetan Administration Dr Lobsang Sangay refers to the Tibetan struggle as Made in India and said that the success of the Tibetan freedom struggle will be India s success story. With the blessings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and under the leadership of the Central Tibetan Administration, Tibetan people across India are observing the year 2018 with a series of Pan-India events spanning 12 months both on the physical and virtual space to publicly express gratitude to the government and the people of India. Tibetans will thank India for ensuring the success of the efforts of Tibetan people: promoting its rich ancient culture and unique identity, assuring the viability and sustainability of Tibetan leadership and Tibetan communities, and leading the Tibetan struggle for freedom and justice through steadfast commitment to non-violence and dialogue. * DIIR Calender 2018 [9.5"x6"] [FINAL].indd 28 1/4/18 5:45:21 PM
