On July 6th, the Tibetan exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, celebrated his 90th birthday in India.
U.S. Secretary of State Rubio sent his blessings to the Dalai Lama on behalf of the United States and expressed support for Tibetans to freely choose and worship their own religious leader.
The Dalai Lama recently said that his successor will be found and recognized by a foundation, which will decide together with leaders of various Tibetan Buddhist sects.
The Chinese government believes that the Dalai Lama's successor must be approved by China.
The United States stated it will continue to support the human rights and religious freedom of Tibetans, protecting their language, culture, and religious traditions.
Many Tibetan Buddhist followers and representatives of the Indian government also attended the Dalai Lama's birthday celebration.
Some members of the U.S. Congress also congratulated the Dalai Lama on his birthday and expressed support for the religious freedom of Tibetans.
