BIRTHDAY BOY

A bus carries an advertisement wishing the Dalai Lama a happy birthday in Taipei yesterday. A Taiwanese Buddhist group is sponsoring the ad on 30 buses nationwide ahead of the Dalai Lama’s 77th birthday on July 6. The India-based Tibetan Government-in-exile has boosted security for the Dalai Lama after allegations surfaced that China is training agents to assassinate him.May 16, 2012
