His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Rajgat

His Holiness the Dalai Lama and millions of people have been saddened by the recent events in Tibet. On March 29, an interfaith gathering in support of non-violence in Tibet and Tibetan autonomy was held in Dehli, at Rajgat, a memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, who His Holiness admires so much. Here are some photos taken by Dharma student Stephen Wainwright.

His Holiness and other religious leaders made offerings at the site of Gandhi's memorial.

Buddhists, Hindus, Pharsis, Jains, Muslims and Christians attended the event and even meditated together.

Representatives of various religions offered His Holiness symbols of their respective faiths.

A great crowd of monastics attended the ceremony.
