The President met this morning at the White House with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.  The President stated his strong support for the preservation of Tibet’s unique religious, cultural and linguistic identity and the protection of human rights for Tibetans in the People’s Republic of China. The President commended the Dalai Lama’s “Middle Way” approach, his commitment to nonviolence and his pursuit of dialogue with the Chinese government.  The President stressed that he has consistently encouraged both sides to engage in direct dialogue to resolve differences and was pleased to hear about the recent resumption of talks.  The President and the Dalai Lama agreed on the importance of a positive and cooperative relationship between the United States and China.

Khashyar | January 10, 2009

Hi Everyone,

I was fortunate enough to receive tickets to attend the January 20th Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C.

I contacted all three of my Congressional Representatives the morning of the election, and learned in December that I received 2 tickets.

I appreciate the opportunity to attend this historic moment.

Because I thought that I might receive tickets, our “Dalai Lama Renaissance” team began scheduling screenings of the film in Ohio and Pennsylvania, so that I could combine work, seeing my family (who live in Washington D.C. and Maryland), and attending the inauguration.

I will try to take some video and post it.
