Happy Birthday Dalai Lama!

By attending a birthday party, one can easily end up at a police station.

While on their way to the celebration of Dalai Lamas’ 75th birthday on July 6th, many Tibetan nuns, monks and others who wanted to join the festivities were stopped by police.

Since the celebration took a place on private property near Tibetan camp in Patan, the police had no way then just let it be, however, what they tried to do instead was to prevent the many attendees from coming.

They stopped them on their way in taxis and escorted them to a police station at the other part of the town. Even though they released them later on, their approach was quite successful. Several of the monks who were participating in the program didn’t make it on time and alternatives for their contributions were altered.

The hands of China reach far.
