Prayers for the well-being and long life of the spiritual leader were held across Tibetan settlements in India and abroad,” an official of the Dalai Lama’s office in Dharamsala, the headquarters of the Tibetan government-in-exile, said, adding that the Dalai Lama participated in functions in Bylakuppe, one of the largest settlements of the exiles in India.
