Dalai Lama prays for world peace

New Delhi, Mar 31 (ANI): Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama offered prayers at temple, mosque and synagogue here today.

The Dalai Lama is in Delhi for week-long 'Thank You India' festival.

On Monday, he thanked India for sheltering him and thousands of other exiled Tibetans who have been forced to flee their homeland in China over the last 50 years.

"From last 50 years, Indian Government and public have been very helpful for us. India extends maximum help and maximum care for the Tibetan community. Tibetan issue is basically a Indian issue, something very closely linked," he said.

The Dalai Lama marked his 50 years in exile on March 10 by demanding 'meaningful autonomy' for Tibetan.

Tibet also celebrated the "Serfs' Emancipation Day" for the first time on March 28, which the Tibetan government-in-exile said was provocative and based on a distorted reading of history. (ANI)
