Tibetans in India celebrate as Dalai Lama turns 78
None
Thousands of Tibetans waved banners and danced and schoolchildren sang prayers Saturday at a Tibetan university in southern India in celebration of the Dalai Lama's 78th birthday. Speaking after an interfaith meeting, the Tibetans' spiritual leader called for love and compassion to promote world peace.
Turning to a Muslim priest, the Dalai Lama said the real meaning of jihad, or holy war, was "to combat our negative emotions. Jihad is not beating or killing (others)," he said. (AP)
