Dalai Birthday

Today is the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday.  Happy day to you, venerable sir, and I hope for many more.

I am just one human being. We are all part of humanity. We are all the same and our future depends on others. Each day I dedicate my body, speech and mind to the welfare of all mother sentient beings. I say my favourite prayer:
        For as long as space endures
        And for as long as living beings remain,
        Until then may I too abide
        To dispel the misery of the world.
