News about Dalai Lama

In 2018, the chairman of Rangers was Dave King. A man who could bandy words with the Dalai Lama, King was adept at lobbing verbal grenades towards the east end of Glasgow . These days he prefers to throw them at the people running his old club. Six years have passed since King predicted that Celtic would fold like a pack of cards if Rangers won a league title. When they finally did it in 2021, those words blew up in his face like a stick of dynamite in a Looney Tunes cartoon. While King spent this week firing out media barbs at the Ibrox investors he once led - challenging the lot of them to a square go - Celtic put the finishing touches to a set of financial figures showing a profit of £13.4million, an annual revenue of £124.6m and cash reserves of £77.2m. If that's the cards tumbling down, you'd hate to see them with a winning hand.

Sharon Stone donned a pink embellished caftan and brown mule sandals to visit the Church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami (Saint Joseph of the Carpenters) in the Italian capital of Rome last Saturday. The 66-year-old Oscar nominee - who was reportedly location scouting for her next painting exhibition - converted to Vajrayana Buddhism upon meeting the 14th Dalai Lama after several years of practicing Scientology in the nineties.

Nancy Pelosi met the Dalai Lama at his residence in India on Wednesday morning in a move that infuriated China. The Democrat former House Speaker, 84, greeted the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader by rubbing her head on his and took swipe at Chinese President Xi Jinping after a warning from the communist party not to attend. Beijing considers the 88-year-old Dalai Lama a separatist, severed all communications with his representatives in 2010 and doesn't recognize the Tibetan administration. 'His Holiness Dalai Lama, with his message of knowledge, tradition, compassion, purity of soul and love, will live a long time and his legacy will live forever. But you, the President of China, you'll be gone and nobody will give you credit for anything,' she said. Pelosi admitted the Nobel Peace Prize laureate would not have approved of her comments criticizing China's communist leader. 'When I criticize the Chinese government, he says, let's pray for Nancy to rid her of her negative attitudes,' she added.

For a lesson on how to see the world on a shoestring budget, read on. Schoolteacher Lucy Hsu, from San Francisco, has officially visited all 195 countries as recognized by the United Nations, with Syria being the final spot she ticked off in May 2023. In a bid to achieve her goal, the 42-year-old employed a number of cost-cutting measures and she says doing volunteer exchange programs and homestays allowed her to save thousands of dollars.

Just the word 'chateau' sounds expensive, but staying in the castles and big country houses that were once home to French nobility does not have to blow your holiday budget. You'll be amazed at how affordable it can be to gather the clan for a week.

In China, Zhimin Qian reportedly scammed more than 128,000 people. Jian Wen, her 'carer and assistant', was found guilty of money laundering in London last week, when Wen's solicitor Mark Harries KC branded Qian a "professional supervillain" and a "master of deception." During an inquiry into a failed property purchase by Wen, London police searched the two mension in Hampstead in 2018.

In an elegantly stamped brick of soap, especially ones made with hand-picked black pepper from Madagascar, or sustainable Big Sur sea salt, or jasmine from a third-generation Egyptian farm, every morning at dawn, there is a certain kind of perfection. In fact, Flamingo Estate's offerings are so good - a line of candles endorsed by the Dalai Lama; a £200 jar of honey from actress Julianne Moore's bees; and a parody of a shopping list for the world's top 0.001 percent. Put it this way: You will no longer be impressed by Gwyneth Paltrow's 'luxe' vision at Goop after you've tested a drinking chocolate gift set worth £73 and heirloom tomato scented dish soap costing £23, a favorite of Oprah Winfrey. Flamingo Estate makes Goop seem so mass market that it might as well be Lidl. A Duchess of Sussex has taken note, and a certain Duchess of Sussex has taken note.

A number of England players met the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala ahead of their fifth Test of the season against India. Ollie Pope, Zak Crawley, Dan Lawrence, Gus Atkinson, Gus Atkinson, and Tom Hartley, as well as batting coach Marcus Trescothick were photographed with the Tibetan spiritual leader - and well-known cricket fan - at his residence in McLeod Ganj on Wednesday. Since the failed rebellion against Chinese forces in 1959, the Dalai Lama has been exile in Dharamsala, the winter capital of Himalaya.

It's not clear if the Dalai Lama is a student of Bazball or prefers a more traditional Test approach, but if England needs a little bit of divine inspiration in their effort to end a long tour on a high note, they have come to the right place. The England squad at Dharamshala's most popular resident and well-known cricket fan welcomed him to his temple in the dramatic mountains, where talk may or may not have focused on Jonny Bairstow's chances of scoring a big score in his 100th Test. Ben Stokes isn't the type of guy who gets excited about little talk with His Holiness - maybe the Dalai Lama is more excited about the prospect of meeting the England captain - but he was happier enthusing about where his team is enthused about the final Test on Tuesday.

PAUL NEWMAN IN RAJKOT: When asked if England would continue to learn from the mistakes they made here in crashing to England's heaviest post-war loss, Brendon McCullum seemed to be bemused. After India announced that no inquest, no team meetings, and certainly no naughty-boy nets would be used, McCullum said there would be no inquiry, no team meetings, and certainly no naughty-boy nets after India had released such a third Test pasting it would put to the Dalai Lama's powers of calm tranquility.' After losing by 434 runs before, McCullum said, "If you have one crack at life, you might as well enjoy yourself and remain positive throughout conditions like this."

The Lord Mayor of London owns a company that has been accused of human rights abuses in Tibet, according to a 'ruthless' Chinese politician who has been accused of human rights abuses. Professor Michael Mainelli's links to Beijing and his calls for a slew of Chinese nationals to be recruited into London's ancient guilds were revealed on Sunday. This week, this newspaper has learned that Z/Yen, a Beijing-sponsored consultancy run by Ye Xiaowen, a hardline Communist apparatchik who was defying Beijing's crackdown on followers of Tibet's exiled Dalai Lama, has been funded by a Chinese academic center. Because of his appalling human rights record, Ye, 73, was refused admission to Taiwan last year.

Jo Kessel embarks on a ten-day journey to northern India, where she milks cows, remains on a hilltop peak, and visits the Golden Temple, which she describes as 'a holy Sikh shrine with a marble exterior dripping with 24-carat gold'. "At night, it glitters, gleams, and floats majestically on a beach, its reflection in the water glitters.' The temple takes on a almost ethereal hue by day.'

Prince William intends to take his annual Earthshot prize awards to China in an attempt to change the country's top polluter's environmental policies. Despite the tense links between Beijing and China, Prince of Wales will visit China. The heir's bold decision stands in sharp contrast to King Charles' relationship with China. The King, who will celebrate his 75th birthday on Tuesday, has never visited mainland China due to the country's human rights record and its treatment of Tibet.

PETER HITCHENS: I expect thousands of councils will go bankrupt like Birmingham soon. In general, councils invest so much on propaganda, pensions, redundancy compensation to people they later rehire, rainbow flags, and an interest in pursuing a cultural, moral, and social revolution that it is amazing that any of them are still solvent. Thousands of fanatics and zealots were destined to die and rule in our concrete corridors of mediocrity by our nation's alleged universities. Apart from state universities, there is probably no more concentrated collection of all the daft thoughts that have ruled our country in the last half century. Despite the fact that the group formerly known as 'The Police' will feature a close third. How did it all happen? Well, in part, the demise of proper education was responsible for the demise of the state grammar schools (and their Scottish counterparts) in the 1960s, as well as the failure of proper education. A increasing number of people who were unaware of what seven fives were, or where Africa was located, or something else significant.

This is the smiling picture of 'inspirational bell-ringer' Julie McDonnell, who was told that criminal charges against her had been dismissed after a litigation involving at least 20 hearings and seven different judges, which was all funded by the taxpayer. McDonnell, who was accused by one judge of "playing the game" during a protracted court struggle, clearly could not contain her delight when she learned she was not in the clear. Snaps of McDonnell on her Facebook page, displaying her maiden name during the three-year period in which she denied to be suffering from all manner of ailments, showed her in a swimsuit on the beach in St Leonards, sitting on the shingle and enjoying a sunset.

Julie McDonnell, a regular viewer of Songs Of Praise, may recall the 'inspirational bell-ringer'. On Easter Sunday, she appeared on the BBC show on Easter Sunday, 2016. She talked movingly about undergoing a stem cell transplant to beat terminal blood cancer, which had inspired her to start a campaign to help others with the life-threatening illness. The 'Julie McDonnell Doubles', a ringer, was rung at her local church, historic St George's in Brede, East Sussex, with members of the congregation urged to make a donation to raise public interest in leukaemia. Julie McDonnell was ringing for St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, among other places. The appeal, which is backed by the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, which has 65 affiliate societies worldwide, became a worldwide phenomenon. What happened next sent shockwaves throughout the bell-ringing community.

During his 21 years as Sunrise's host, David 'Kochie' Koch entertained hundreds of celebrities, and he revealed on Wednesday that one interview was memorably poor'. According to Daily Mail Australia, his 2010 interview with Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama was one of the worst he's ever conducted. 'I had this preconceived notion that he'd be a Zen, just floating through life.' However, I guess I got him on a gruesome day,' he began.
