There will be speeches in English and Tibetan starting at 9:00 a.m. Indian Standard time, which is 11:30 p.m. today in Eastern Time, and 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time. You can tune into the livestream here.
That’s not the only way you can celebrate His Holiness’ birthday, though. In his honor, the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition has designated July 6 as Compassion Day. There are three main parts to Compassion Day: Rejoicing, Compassion in Action, and Meditation. You can celebrate at an FPMT center, if there’s one near you, or at home. For more information about how you can observe Compassion Day, visit the Compassion Day website and/or the day’s Facebook page.
And in honor of Compassion Day, Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive will offer free copies of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s books Bodhisattva Attitude and Joy of Compassion. Just place your order on Compassion Day, July 6th and get the books with free shipping anywhere in North America.
