The Dalai Lama recognizes tiredness

The Tibetan Parliament in exile a historic session opened with the reading of the letter in which the Dalai Lama asks to be freed from his political duties in the Tibetan movement, said in Dharamsala, India. In the letter, addressed to parliamentarians, the Dalai Lama, 75 years old, says that any postponement of the decision of the Assembly on his retirement could pose a political challenge "overwhelming" in the future.

The monk and Nobel Peace Prize considered that the Tibetan movement is mature enough to directly elect the new leader of the Tibetan government in exile. "If we continue in exile for decades, will inevitably come when I no longer capable of assume the government, "he said in his letter, read by the Speaker of Parliament." In order for our democratic process is complete, it's time for me to delegate my authority as a leader formally elected, "said Tenzin Gyatso, which occupies fourteenth place in the historical lineage of the Dalai.

The Dalai still heads a theocratic system, which combines the power contained in their political and religious, although he himself has said he lives in semi retirement from politics and do not plan to go to Parliament this day.
