As we share ICT's 2025 calendar, The Heart of Compassion | Honoring the 90th Year of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, it is with immense gratitude and reverence that we prepare to celebrate the 90th birth year of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. This extraordinary milestone is not only a moment to honor the life of a remarkable leader, but also an opportunity to reflect on his wisdom and the impact His Holiness has had on the world. We are overjoyed to be working in collaboration with Tenzin Geyche Tethong and his book, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama: An Illustrated Biography.
Forced to flee his home at a young age, His Holiness has remained a beacon of hope for the Tibetan people, and a voice of conscience in the global community. Despite the efforts of the Chinese Communist Party to eradicate any aspect of Tibetan culture and religion, He has continued to advocate for human values, religious harmony, and the preservation of Tibetan culture.
This calendar is a tribute to the enduring legacy of His Holiness and the values he has championed throughout his life. As we turn the pages throughout the year, let us draw inspiration from his teachings and strive to embody the values of compassion in our own lives.
In celebrating His Holiness' 90th birthday, we also honor the unbreakable spirit of the Tibetan people and their continued pursuit of freedom and dignity. It is through your support that we at ICT can continue our work, standing alongside the Tibetan community in their struggle and amplifying their voices on an international stage.
Together, let us continue to support His Holiness' vision for a better world.
