00:44Chama Gung for Linggur, thank you very much.
00:46Why is it very great news?
00:48Because he is our living Buddha, he is a compassionate leader, he is a compassionate
00:53for the world, you know, he is all thinking about the world, not only thinking for the
00:57India, not for the Tibetan, he is thinking about all the world, you know, everyone is giving
01:03respect to him, you know, so I am very glad to hear this thing, thank you very much.
