In his message, the Tibetan spiritual leader said, “As I often tell my friends and well-wishers, I would request you to join me in this effort, to be warm-hearted and to lead a meaningful life in the service of others; that will be the best birthday gift to me.” He said that the 90th birthday is conventionally considered an important milestone in one’s life. He further said he has dedicated himself to spreading the message of compassion and kindness, which he believes is the basis for peace and happiness in this world, and he will continue doing so.
