Arunachal Pradesh, India’s northeastern frontier state bordering Tibet, will host a global conference next month dedicated to the 6th Dalai Lama of Tibet (1683–1706 AD), Tsangyang Gyatso.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu described the upcoming event as a “historic moment” that will unite faith, culture, and scholarship in the birthplace of the revered spiritual figure. The 6th Dalai Lama, known for his profound spiritual insight and celebrated poetic works, was born in the Monpa community of Tawang.

“The world knows little about His Holiness the Sixth Dalai Lama. It is now our duty to let the world know about his life, his philosophy, and his timeless words,” Khandu told PTI.

Organized under the guidance of Ven Tengyur Rinpoche and the Department of Karmik and Adhyatmik Affairs (DoKAA), the conference will bring together scholars from India and abroad. The event aims to rediscover and promote the enduring legacy of the Tawang-born spiritual luminary.

The international gathering is also expected to spotlight Arunachal Pradesh as a centre of Buddhist cultural heritage and academic excellence, marking a new chapter in global recognition for Tawang.
