Commemorating the 90th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama on July 6, 2025, as "A Day of Compassion", and expressing support for the human rights, religious freedom, and cultural and linguistic protection of the Tibetan people.

This resolution commemorates the 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on July 6, 2025, designating it as "A Day of Compassion." It congratulates him for his significant contributions to peace, nonviolence, human rights, and interfaith understanding over more than seven decades. The resolution also affirms the fundamental human rights, religious freedom, and distinct cultural, linguistic, and national identity of the Tibetan people. A key provision reiterates that the identification and installation of Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders, including a future 15th Dalai Lama , are exclusively spiritual matters for the Tibetan Buddhist faith community. It explicitly states that any attempt by the Government of the People's Republic of China to interfere in this process is an invalid infringement on religious freedom. This aligns with the 14th Dalai Lama's declaration that the responsibility for identifying his successor rests with Gaden Phodrang officials, not political entities. The resolution builds upon previous U.S. legislative efforts, such as the Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2020 and the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act . These acts emphasize the U.S. policy that decisions regarding Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders are spiritual matters and hold Chinese officials accountable for interference. The House of Representatives encourages the presentation of this resolution to the Dalai Lama as an expression of esteem and respect.
