Dharamshala: His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written to Lee Jae-myung this morning to congratulate him on his victory in the Korean Presidential Election.
“Today the world is passing through very challenging times,” he wrote, “even as there is a growing sense of interdependence and the oneness of humanity across the world. A lasting peace in the Korean peninsula is of vital importance to the entire world. I am sure you will continue to make persistent efforts to secure lasting peace in the region through diplomacy and dialogue.
“In recent years, a growing number of Korean Buddhists has shown an interest in studying at the Centres of Learning we have re-established in India. Meanwhile, I regularly meet Korean Buddhist brothers and sisters who come to India on pilgrimage.
“I wish you every success in meeting whatever challenges lie ahead, fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the people of South Korea, and contributing to a more harmonious, peaceful world.”
His Holiness concluded by offering his prayers and good wishes.
