Dalai Lama to Travel to US for Medical Treatment

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is set to travel to the United States for medical treatment, as announced by his office in a statement on Monday. The statement indicated that no engagements will be scheduled from June 20 onwards until further notice.

“Update to His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Schedule – This is to inform all concerned that no engagements, including public audiences, will be scheduled from June 20 onwards until further notice. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is scheduled to travel to the United States for medical treatment on his knees,” the office of Dalai Lama said in a post on X.

“Upon his return to Dharamsala, regular engagements will resume,” the statement added.

In April this year, the 88-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader was presented with Lord Buddha’s sacred Kapilavastu relics. The sacred relics were located at RajaGuru Sri Subuthi Waskaduwa Maha Viharaya, a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. The Kapilavastu relics hold immense historical and spiritual significance, connecting the devotees to the profound legacy of Lord Buddha.

In February, on the occasion of Chotrul Duechen, the Dalai Lama gave a short general teaching from the Jataka Tales at the Main Tibetan Temple, Tsuglagkhang, in the Himachal Pradesh hill town of Dharamshala. This event was attended by over 3,000 Tibetan followers, including Buddhist monks, nuns, and foreigners from different parts of the world.

Chotrul Duechen, celebrated on the 15th day of the 1st Tibetan month, is known as the day of offerings. It is one of the four Buddhist festivals commemorating significant events in the life of the Buddha.
