Dalai Lama embarks on Sikkim and West Bengal visit
The Dalai Lama’s visit to Sikkim and West Bengal for teachings has sparked diplomatic discussions on the border tension between India and China. He will be giving teachings on Gyalsey Thokme Sangpo’s 37 practices of a Boddhisattva and performing the Ceremony for Generation of Bodhicitta. The visit holds sentimental value for the Dalai Lama as he first arrived in Sikkim in 1956 and considers it an important state. It is worth noting that China recognizes Sikkim as a state of India, so there should be no reason for China to be annoyed.
