Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang of Sikkim expressed heartfelt joy upon learning about the successful knee replacement surgery undergone by His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. CM Tamang, speaking on behalf of the people of Sikkim, extended sincere wishes for the spiritual leader’s swift recovery and continued good health.
In his message, CM Tamang conveyed, “May the blessings of His Holiness continue to grace the entire world.” This sentiment reflects the deep respect and admiration that the people of Sikkim hold for the Dalai Lama, renowned globally for his wisdom, compassion, and efforts towards promoting peace and understanding among nations.
The news of the Dalai Lama’s successful surgery has brought happiness to his followers worldwide, and CM Tamang’s heartfelt wishes resonate deeply with the sentiments of the people of Sikkim.
Earlier announcements from the Dalai Lama’s office indicated his upcoming travel to the United States for further medical treatment related to his knees, prompting the suspension of all public engagements starting June 20 until further notice. His return to Dharamsala is eagerly awaited, marking the resumption of his regular activities and engagements.
In recent months, the Dalai Lama’s activities have included significant events such as receiving Lord Buddha’s sacred Kapilavastu relics in April, an event of profound historical and spiritual importance in Sri Lanka. These events further underscore the Dalai Lama’s enduring influence and legacy among his devoted followers worldwide.
