Dharamsala photo exhibition pays tribute to tenth Panchen Lama | A five-day photo exhibition was organised by a Buddhist monastery at Dharamsala here to commemorate twenty years of the passing away of the tenth Panchen Lama. The exhibition concluded
on Thursday. On view were rare photographs and vintage Thangka paintings (traditional
Tibetan scroll art) that showed the lives of Panchen Lamas. The organisers wished
that through this exhibition the world will remember the forgotten Tibetan Buddhist
lineage of spiritual leaders. The main aim of the exhibition was to show the world
that the tenth Panchen Lama had consistently worked for the welfare of the Tibetan
people, and also that he had struggled to preserve Tibetan theological culture
despite Chinese conquest and rule. Yudon, who coordinated this exhibition, hoped
that mass awareness about the Tibetan spiritual leaders will spread for all times
to come. "The main aim of this exhibition is to create awareness among the people
outside for the Tibetans. Even though they are Tibetans but they don't know much
about the Panchen Lama," said Yudon. Dawa, a Tibetan lady who came to view the
exhibits opined that exhibitions of this kind should exert pressure on the Chinese
to free the homeland of Tibetans. "It's a big deal I think because they don't
know much about Panchen Lama and through this way it will put pressure on the
Chinese. I hope all the people should put pressure to the Chinese, through this
way they know that how much Panchen Lama has done for Tibetan people and then
how much important is the eleventh Panchen Lama," said Dawa. |
