Audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Ganden Monastery · Mundgod, near Hubballi, Karnataka

A private audience with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is one of the most difficult honours to obtain in the world.

Most applications are politely declined. Of those granted, many wait years. The diary of His Holiness — protected by his office at Thekchen Chöling, Dharamsala — is reserved largely for heads of state, Nobel laureates, senior religious leaders, and a small handful of humanitarian figures whose work has reached a stature worthy of his time. Visiting delegations from outside Tibetan Buddhist communities are an exception, not a rule.

In January 2026, SHEKINAIH SIEW SIN YAP and J AARON K DAVID were received at Gaden Jangtse Norling College, in the Tibetan monastic settlement of Mundgod, near Hubli (Hubballi), Karnataka — the largest re-established Buddhist community outside Tibet — for the formal audience with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. They entered the hall as part of the distinguished delegation of the United Peace Keepers Federal Council (UNPKFC), led by its Global President Dr. Aphinita Chaichana — the sole woman invited to deliver the keynote address before the high-level spiritual assembly that day, who framed Compassion and Inner Peace as the working framework for resolving modern global conflicts.

The gathering drew thousands of devotees and practitioners from across the globe in an atmosphere of profound reverence and spiritual unity. The mission carried a steadfast humanitarian seal — UNPKFC's financial support extended to over 1,600 monks and novices in the settlement — and the entire journey rested on the spiritual guidance of the venerable Tsendok Rinpoche, the teacher whose counsel was its cornerstone. Both SHEKINAIH SIEW SIN YAP and J AARON K DAVID received commemorative audience certificates from the office of His Holiness, and walked out of Mundgod carrying the yellow ceremonial khata as a permanent record of the encounter.

For an international faith and humanitarian leadership platform still in its growing season, this was not a casual visit. It was a marker — a quiet recognition by one of the most revered spiritual figures alive that the work of Crowned Eagles Global belongs in the room where peace, compassion, and cross-faith dignity are taken seriously.
