After a successful knee replacement surgery at a top New York hospital, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is rapidly recovering and able to walk, two of his personal physicians said on Thursday.
The proclamation came close on the heels of the visit of a high-level United States Congressional delegation to India from June 16 to 20.
In a message Dalai Lama said, “I was saddened to learn about the sudden passing of your wife and our good friend Senator Kimberley J E Kitching. I pray for her and offer my condolences to you and other members of the family.
Dalai Lama said: "If I may say so, I believe that women are more empathetic than men in providing genuine concern for the well-being of others."
The session on the topic "Facing Challenges with Compassion and Wisdom" was attended by thousands of people across the world.
