Dharamsala: His Holiness the Dalai Lama has considered giving a 3-day special teaching, a first of its kind, here from June 1-3 to motivate especially young Tibetans into learning Buddhism and have a better and deeper understanding of it.

The teaching has been requested by Dharamsala Committee for Introductory Buddhist Studies and will be held at Upper Tibetan Children’s Village School (UTCV), Dharamsala.

The teaching is primarily reserved for young Tibetans; however no age-limit and other requirements are set for it. The teaching will be open for Tibetan youths from all walks of life and from anywhere but, prior registration is a must wherein an interested attendant has to submit ones name with a brief bio-data.

The Dharamsala Committee for Introductory Buddhist Studies is a voluntary committee formed a year ago and helps Tibetan youngsters to stay accustomed with Buddha Dharma by arranging introductory Buddhist classes. The committee is headed by Mr. Dawa Tsering, former local Tibetan welfare officer and currently a member of Tibetan Assembly in exile.

“His Holiness has, in recent times, been very much concerned about young Tibetans getting distanced from Tibetan Buddhist culture. So, this committee is a called for one to formulate into action His Holiness’ concern”, says Mr. Dawa.

“And now we are very much blessed that His Holiness has actually considered giving a 3-day special teaching for our Tibetan youngsters and young ones should be able to take this precious opportunity to be in the presence of His Holiness,” said Mr. Dawa

The committee also arranges regular introductory Buddhist classes for Tibetan youths on Sundays.
