DHARAMSHALA, MAY 18: The Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama has congratulated India’s Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi on his party’s decisive victory in the national elections.
In a letter to Modi, the 78 year old Tibetan leader, who returned to his residence here after a four – nation Europe tour, stated that India was the world’s largest democratic nation and the most stable in South Asia with a deep tradition of Ahimsa.
The 1989 Nobel laureate said he took pride in citing India as a living example of unity in diversity, an ancient country in which all the major world’s religious traditions flourish and from which other countries could learn.
Just as he had brought development and prosperity to Gujarat, His Holiness prayed that under his leadership India would continue to flourish and prosper.
His Holiness wished him every success in meeting the many challenges that lay ahead and in fulfilling the “hopes and aspirations of the people of this great nation.”
