ODH GAYA, January 11: “Take my teachings as a ‘root’- go ahead and read books, analyze and practice the Buddha Dharma,” were the parting words as the Dalai Lama concluded his 32nd Kalachakra teachings in Bodh Gaya yesterday.

“I am telling you to practice not for me but out of my experience, I know that it is helpful to you, especially, when you are down,” said the 76-year old Tibetan spiritual leader.

“If you don’t practice, then it’s waste of money and energy to have come here”.

The Dalai Lama who has been teaching and giving initiations for the past ten days urged the concerned organisers and committees to make the final financial statement transparent and to use the funds and donations for the benefit of the poor and needy.
