Message by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on the Beijing Olympics
Published: Tuesday, 5 August, 2008
I would like to offer my greetings to the People's Republic of China, the organizers and the athletes participating in the forthcoming Olympic Games in Beijing.
Right from the time of China's application to hold the Olympic Games, I have supported China's right to host the Games. This is a moment of great pride to the 1.3 billion Chinese people. These Games should contribute to promoting the Olympic spirit of friendship, openness and peace.
I send my prayers and good wishes for the success of the event.
THE DALAI LAMA

As the spiritual and temporal leader of the exiled Tibetan community, and as a Nobel Peace Laureate, His Holiness the fourteenth Dalai Lama is now a celebrated figure in the west.
There is, however, another side to his character that is perhaps less well known. Although he usually describes himself as no more than a simple Buddhist monk, he is recognised as one of the greatest living masters of Buddhist philosophy. All over the world, his teachings attract large numbers of Buddhist practitioners and sympathisers.
His Holiness’ visit to Nantes is to be organised with this in view. He has accepted the invitation of three Tibetan Buddhist centres, which have created a special association in order to host his visit: Océan de Sagesse – Nantes 2008.
The Dalai Lama will be in Nantes from Friday 15 August till Wednesday 20 August 2008.
The event will be scheduled in three stages:
• A public talk on the theme “Inner Peace—Universal Peace”.
• Four and a half days of teachings on “Bodhichitta”, according to Nagarjuna’s Stanzas on the Middle Way and various other texts.
• An empowerment of Padmasambhava, according to a Dharma Treasure revealed by the Fifth Dalai Lama.
This first visit of the Dalai Lama to the West of France will be a great occasion for students and practitioners of Buddhism as well as for everyone receptive to His Holiness’ message—an opportunity for people to increase their knowledge of Buddhism and to deepen their spiritual commitment.

On connaît désormais bien en occident Sa Sainteté le XIVème Dalaï Lama en tant que chef temporel et spirituel des tibétains en exil, prix Nobel de la Paix.
Mais un autre aspect de sa personnalité est peut être moins connu.
Sa Sainteté, qui se décrit volontiers comme un simple moine est également un enseignant de la philosophie bouddhiste parmi les plus érudits. Ses enseignements attirent de très nombreux pratiquants et sympathisants dans tous les pays du monde.
C'est dans ce cadre, que s'organise sa venue à Nantes. Sa Sainteté le Dalaï Lama répond à l'invitation de trois centres bouddhistes tibétains qui, pour l'occasion, se sont fédérés en l'association : Océan de Sagesse - Nantes 2008.
Son séjour dans la ville de Nantes est prévu du vendredi 15 août au mercredi 20 août 2008.
Le programme se divise en trois parties :
• Une conférence publique sur le thème "Paix intérieure, paix universelle"
• Quatre jours et demi d'enseignements sur "l'esprit d'Eveil", approche selon le "Traité de la Voie Médiane" de Nagarjuna et d'autres commentaires.
• Une initiation de Padmasambhava, selon les trésors spirituels découverts par le Vème Dalaï Lama sera donnée le dernier jour.
Cette première visite dans l'Ouest de la France représente pour les étudiants et pratiquants du bouddhisme comme pour toutes les personnes sensibles au message de Paix du Dalaï Lama une opportunité exceptionnelle de nourrir leur démarche en présence de Sa Sainteté.
