Dalai Lama’s message to Tibetan Parliament-in-exile
Mar. 14 (Tibet.net): In a message dated Mar. 11, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has formally proposed his decision to devolve his political authority to an elected leadership. Excerpts:
“My intention to devolve political authority derives neither from a wish to shirk responsibility nor because I am disheartened. On the contrary, I wish to devolve authority solely for the benefit of the Tibetan people in the long run. It is extremely important that we ensure the continuity of our exile Tibetan administration and our struggle until the issue of Tibet has been successfully resolved.”
