A postage stamp celebrating the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday and created by the International Campaign for Tibet, will be available in Germany. The postage stamp, valued at 62 cents, is a product of the German Postal Services. ICT-Germany Executive Director Kai Müller: “This postage stamp is a rare recognition of the popularity of the Dalai Lama in Germany; it is sure to become a collector’s item. It is our way of honoring the world’s most famous Buddhist, the exiled religious leader of Tibet.”

The stamp can be ordered at the International Campaign for Tibet in Germany (info@savetibet.de).
