Celebrating His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday (Ghoton):
A Yearlong Global Tribute,
​The Year of Compassion

In honor of His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday (Ghoton)  in 2025, the Kashag of the Central Tibetan Administration has declared July 2025 to July 2026 as the Year of Compassion, a global initiative to celebrate his extraordinary life, spiritual leadership, and enduring legacy of compassion, nonviolence, and the preservation of Tibetan culture. The yearlong observance will begin with a special long-life prayer ceremony in Dharamshala on July 5, 2025, and continue with cultural programs, academic events, interfaith dialogues, and community service projects around the world—each reflecting the Dalai Lama’s lifelong commitments and visionary teachings. As part of this global initiative, the Tibetan Association of Boston is organizing a series of events to engage the local Tibetan community and the broader public in honoring His Holiness’s life and message, and in promoting compassion as a guiding principle for our shared future.
