Tibetans offered prayers for Nelson Mandela at a special prayer service held in Tsuglakhang, Dharamshala. Sikyong Lobsang Sangay said, “It is sad to see him pass away, but it gives us courage that his legacy of equality and justice that prevailed over unjust governments is inspiration for Tibetans”. Tibetans also offered prayers for those who have self-immolated.
