And it’s not necessary either,” he said from his home in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div> Ladakh and Dharamshala, two Indian districts known for their celebrations of Tibetan Buddhism, have been forced to keep things low key due to the coronavirus in lieu of which public gatherings are limited and people are encouraged to stay at home as much as possible. “However, if you want to celebrate my birthday, I’d like to ask you to recite the Mani mantra (Om Mani Padme Hung), at least a thousand times,” he said explaining that this is due to the unique connection he has with Avalokiteshvara — the earthly manifestation of the self-born eternal Buddha Amitabha. PT Kunzang, President of the Ladakh Buddist Association (LBA) told Outlook that normally, there used to huge celebrations every year on July 6. “But this year due to the Covid-19 guidelines, it will be a small symbolic gathering,” he said highlighting that only religious heads would be gathering to commemorate the Dalai Lama’s 85th birthday. Tseten Wangchuk, the Chief Representative Officer of Tibetan Settlement in Leh, added that the Buddist leader was scheduled to visit Ladakh this year on his birthday but will no longer be able to do so in view of the coronavirus pandemic. Ahead of his birthday, the Dalai Lama also released an album of his mantras and teachings called ‘Inner World’. It has reportedly been in development for the past five years and includes 11 tracks, including Compassions based on the Mani mantra.

This is how the Dalai Lama wants his followers to celebrate his 85th birthday

<ul><li>A nod to <keyword id="3660" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dalai-Lama">Dalai Lama</keyword>’s 85th birthday could be the swing-vote along the disputed border areas between India and China. </li><li>Indians in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh are ethnically and religiously part of the Tibetan cultural world. </li><li>Experts believe that India wishing Dalai Lama on his 85th birthday could also a good diplomatic move amid the current India-China border tension. </li></ul>India’s security in the Himalayan borderlands doesn’t come solely from military build-up or border infrastructure, but also from the pro-India sentiment of its inhabitants. On the event of the Dalai Lama’s 85th birthday, many believe that the country should pay homage to the Tibetan Buddist leader as a diplomatic play against China amid the border tension in Eastern Ladakh. Geostrategist <a href="https://twitter.com/Chellaney/status/1279801058928103424">Brahma Chellany</a> believes it’s worth taking the time to wish the Dalai Lama — if not visit him in person — considering Indian Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>’s long history of acknowledging dignitaries’ birthdays on Twitter. In the past, China has been ‘<a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/china-angered-by-dalai-lama-s-meeting-with-prez-pranab-says-has-hurt-ties/story-4WJIJGzFJvx3ikFkw0sZ7J.html">strongly dissatisfied</a>’ with India’s support of Tibet, like in 2016 when President Pranab Mukherjee met the Dalai Lama during a children’s summit at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. According to China, meeting with the Dalai Lama disrespected one of Beijing’s core interests. India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) maintained that the event was non-political. “China is dissatisfied at the LAC [Line of Actual Control] with India and is trying to improve the situation to its liking. Beijing is also frustrated with New Delhi’s persistent support of the Dalai Lama,” commented Observer Researcher Foundation’s (<a href="https://www.orfonline.org/research/what-china-wants-in-south-asia-67665/">ORF</a>) Derek Grossman who is senior defence analyst at RAND Corporation. While a consensus on the border dispute between India and China may take some time to resolve, keeping the pro-India sentiment in disputed regions would help India maintain some level of control. “India should be proactive, not reactive, in maintaining a dynamic Tibetan diaspora – India’s real security guarantee in the Himalayan border regions,” said Mumbai-based thinktank Gateway House’s <a href="https://www.gatewayhouse.in/great-wall-of-tibet/">Dibyesh Anand</a>. The Dalai Lama isn’t too upset about the celebrations being downplayed this year. Instead of gathering in large numbers, he’s asked his followers to recite the Mani mantra 1000 times instead.

Nepal is a natural buffer between China and India and is considered by New Delhi as its natural ally, but China is also making inroads by pouring aid and infrastructure investment into what is one of the world’s 10 poorest countries. Beijing sent troops into remote, mountainous Tibet in 1950 in what it officially terms a peaceful liberation and has ruled there with an iron fist ever since. The Dalai Lama fled to India in early 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. <h2 style="margin-top: 1.14286rem; margin-bottom: 0.428571rem; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 1.71429rem; line-height: 2.21429rem; font-family: Merriweather, serif; vertical-align: baseline;">There could be a law and order problem as infiltrators could organise demonstrations</h2><h2 style="margin-top: 1.14286rem; margin-bottom: 0.428571rem; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 1.71429rem; line-height: 2.21429rem; font-family: Merriweather, serif; vertical-align: baseline;">-- Krishna Bahadur Katuwal</h2> Krishna Bahadur Katuwal, assistant district administrator of Kathmandu, said the government refused permission for Tibetans to mark the Dalai Lama’s birthday because “infiltrators” could create trouble. “There could be a law and order problem as infiltrators could organise demonstrations or try to self-immolate,” Katuwal said. Tibetan news portal Phayul.com said celebration plans were then withdrawn. Airport immigration authorities in Kathmandu refused to admit a US citizen of Tibetan origin and deported him last month, reportedly at China’s request. Nepali authorities have also previously detained Tibetans trying to cross the border on their way to India after fleeing their disputed homeland. Human rights groups say Nepal faces intense Chinese pressure to control the flow of Tibetans crossing the border.

88 Quotes On Success From The World's Most Accomplished People

<div class="image-container float_right"><div class="image">REUTERS</div></div>It appears that writing is all about making lists these days. 
So, having recently covered Tips for Surviving a <a href="http://gselevator.wordpress.com/2013/05/31/congratulations-summer-interns-of-2013-grab-a-pen-here-are-a-few-words-of-wisdom/">Goldman Sachs Internship</a> and Attending a <a href="http://gselevator.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/how-to-survive-a-sporting-event-with-your-boss/">Sporting Event With Your Boss</a>, my latest attempt (by request) is a fresh, succinct, and definitive guide to dressing like an investment banker.
The genesis of this post is simple; American men dress like s---. 
It doesn’t matter where you look, from the endless stream of bright-eyed but hopeless-looking students vying for the ever-shrinking number of analyst positions on Wall Street, to the haggard, white-collar, middle class masses traipsing their way from airport lounge to departure gate, while getting Hilton Reward Points rich and Chipotle fat.
Who better to help than <a href="https://twitter.com/GSElevator">the aggregated and infinite wisdom of</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GSElevator">GSElevator</a>, with a comprehensive list of business fashion tips from the halls of Goldman Sachs?
So, here we go…
Shoes
<ul>
<li>No brogues, wing-tipped, or square-toed shoes. </li>
</ul>
#1: He's really wearing square-toed shoes...
#2: Wait, it's intern season already?
<ul>
<li>Stick with loafers; they’re more comfortable and convenient. And the conventional wisdom that they lack the formality of traditional lace-ups has long-since expired.</li>
<li>If you aren’t confident in your innate fashion sense, keep the shoes black when wearing a suit. There’s no need to attempt hazel Bottega Venetas and a matching belt with a monastral blue suit. In most cases, you can’t pull it off.</li>
<li>Prada and Gucci; start and end there. Decent $700 shoes will last you 3-4x times longer than something you pick up from Bloomingdale’s for $300. Do the math.</li>
<li>Cedar shoetrees are an absolute must. They absorb moisture, stiff-arm the signs of aging, and otherwise materially extend the life of your shoes.</li>
<li>Don’t forget to get your housekeeper a decent shine kit for Christmas. And make sure she uses it.</li>
</ul>
Socks
<ul>
<li>Unless you are married to a Sloane Ranger or studied Classics at Cambridge, leave the pink Richard James socks at home. It’s not Ladies’ Day at Ascot.</li>
</ul>
 #1: Most Brits aren't gay, but their socks are.
<ul>
<li>Calvin Klein or Giorgio Armani makes some great calve-high plain black socks that never change with the season. And just as Michael Jordan insisted on a new pair of shoes every game, you need to keep the socks fresh. </li>
<li>Buy at least 20 identical pair every six months. </li>
</ul>
#1: I wear a brand new pair of socks every day. That's probably my only indulgence. That, and watches... And wine.
<ul>
<li>The ‘no socks’ look is disgusting, and is actually a stated violation of many corporate dress codes, particularly for banks.</li>
</ul>
Pants/Trousers
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
No cuffs and no pleats; pleats are for guys with gunts (front asses). 
</li>
</ul>
#1: Dude, cuffed pants are for limo drivers.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Belt loops are optional. If you have a decent tailor, rock the side tabs. 
</li>
</ul>
#1: Did you forget your belt today?
#2: I don't need one; did you forget to get your suit tailored?
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Actually, side tabs are rather convenient if you are a junior banker. You’ve got less time for the gym and spend many a lunch and dinner hunched over your desk. Throw in the boozy nights out and extravagant client dinners and it’s a recipe for looking like 2011 Alec Baldwin.
</li>
</ul>
Belts/Suspenders
<ul>
<li>This is pretty obvious - nothing garish or obnoxious, and this includes those ridiculous monogrammed silver buckles that all boys in Greenwich get for their 14th birthday.</li>
<li>A few years ago, we had a 1st year analyst walk across the trading floor with a Gucci ‘G’ belt buckle. “Hey bubba, I didn’t know The Gap made belts,” bellows out a trader. “Um, it’s Gucci,” the kid snaps back. The words are barely out of his mouth before he realizes he’s being mocked in front of half a dozen guys and just made it a lot worse. That was all it took; the kid was never able to earn even a modicum of respect after that, and ended up leaving the firm less than a year later.</li>
<li>No suspenders, period. Who do you think you are, Matt “GG” Defusco?</li>
</ul>
Shirts
<ul>
<li>The infamous blue shirt and white collar is acceptable, as long as the shade of blue isn’t too deep and accompanied with a power tie. This ode to Gekko works much better today in a light pink, baby blue, or lavender shirt, and without a tie.</li>
<li>Skip the monograms… Unless your initials are D.I.K.</li>
<li>No shirt pockets or collar buttons. This isn’t a 1994 Brooks Brothers catalogue.</li>
<li>Make sure your shirts are tapered appropriately. If you want to see how ridiculous ‘blousy’ looks, go back and watch some old Seinfeld reruns.</li>
<li>Have new shirts made every year and donate the old ones to Career Gear, a great non-profit that provides interview <keyword id="15176" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="clothes">clothes</keyword> to low income individuals.</li>
<li>French cuffs are fine, provided that the cufflinks aren’t straight out of the Donald J. Trump collection.</li>
<li>And if you sweat, wear a damn undershirt, you slob. Besides, a $50 t-shirt will save numerous $200 dress shirts from your disgusting armpits.</li>
</ul>
Ties
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
It’s all about the Windsor knot, with the perfectly symmetrical triangle. A half or full Windsor are both fine, depending on the thickness of the tie and the spread of the collar.
</li>
</ul>
MD#1: Handshakes and tie knots. I don't have time for someone that can't master those basic skills.
<ul>
<li>Skip the dimple that creates that obnoxious crease; you’re not Al Sharpton.</li>
<li dir="ltr">Sorry interns and analysts, no Hermès. </li>
</ul>
#1: Don't show up to an interview in a Hermès tie. I don't give a f*ck if you can afford it, you have to earn it.
#1: Hermes ties are like Air Jordans for white people.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Everyone has a favorite tie, but don’t wear it every damn week.
</li>
</ul>
#1: There's nothing pretentious about keeping a tie journal. It keeps me on a solid 10-12 week rotation.
Suit Jacket
<ul>
<li>You can’t go wrong with two-button, notched-lapel, and single-breasted. Skip the three-button suit altogether.</li>
<li dir="ltr">Absolutely no double-breasted herringbone. It’s gone and never coming back. Sorry, David Letterman.</li>
<li dir="ltr">Avoid the peaked lapel, unless it’s on a single-button, casual suit.</li>
<li dir="ltr">In terms of color, keep it to various shades of gray and navy, with a few varieties of pinstripes. That’s all you need.</li>
</ul>
#1: Is that a brown suit? The back office is in Jersey City, pal.
<ul>
<li>No need to go above 160 per inch thread count. Between the abrasive Herman Miller chairs and the drunken nights out, they don't last.</li>
<li>And it goes without saying; buy as many suits as you can reasonably afford.</li>
<li>But don’t waste your money buying off-the-rack at Barney’s or Bergdorf; go bespoke. </li>
</ul>
#1: Gucci suits are like Corvettes. They're a great way of telling people you didn't always have money.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">It’s a cliché because it’s true; the most expensive suit is the one you wear the least.</li>
</ul>
#1: I spent $2,000 on a suit I don't need or like, just to impress a sales chick I don't find attractive.
Business Casual
<ul>
<li>If you're not in the US, lose the khakis.</li>
<li dir="ltr">Sweaters over a collared shirt? For the most part, no problem. </li>
</ul>
 #1: Why do people wear wool if they know cashmere exists?
 #1: There is no such thing as turtleneck weather.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Stick with Polo shirts; no one cares to watch you inevitably mime golf swings.
</li>
</ul>
#1: Nothing says douchebag quite like wearing an Augusta golf shirt when the Masters are on.
Watches
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">I saw an Associate get picked off for sporting a new Daytona the week before bonus. A quick "if you want watches to matter, go work at Morgan Stanley" wiped that smirk right off his face.</li>
</ul>
#1: Wearing a Rolex is like driving an Audi. It says you've got some money, but nothing to say.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Thanks to Hank Paulson, Nike running watches and Livestrong bracelets were to 2004 what Lloyd's stubble beard has been to 2012-13. There are quite a few senior guys that still wear a Nike sport watch, intentionally, or even no watch at all.
</li>
</ul>
#1: Not wearing a watch is the new Patek.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Forget all about Hublot. It’s a great way to tell people that you’re an idiot who has more money than taste. Hublot was a second-rate brand with third-rate craftsmanship until about 15 years ago when they arbitrarily doubled the price and started paying celebrities and sport figures to wear them. It's been a marketers wet dream.
</li>
</ul>
 #1: Hublot put the ‘whore’ in ‘horology’ 
Miscellaneous Tips
<ul>
<li>Pocket squares are for washed-up, unemployable ex-bankers, turned CNBC guest pundits, i.e. a guy who takes himself far too seriously and has a massive chip on his shoulder.</li>
<li dir="ltr">Wedding rings, watches, and cufflinks are the only acceptable form of jewelry for a man. Unless the Dalai Lama gave you that bracelet, leave it at home.</li>
</ul>
#1: In New York, don't trust a banker with a pocket square. In London, it's a pinky ring. And in Asia, don't f--king trust anyone.
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Like Ambien and red wine, the wrong fashion combination can become a disastrously lethal cocktail of Larry Kudlow-esque proportions. 
</li>
</ul>
MD #1: A double-breasted suit and a blue shirt with a white collar? Was it a rough night in the water bed?
#1: Plaid shirt, bow tie, and pocket square is the douchebag trifecta. 
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
Finally, "an architect is only as good as his builder, and a fashion designer is only as good as your tailor."
</li>
</ul>
There you have it; head to toe. These tips won’t exactly get you laid at Soho House or on the cover of GQ; but on Wall Street and in business, you can’t go wrong taking this advice.
Just don’t go out and break the law or get scapegoated… Ask any juror, Fabrice Tourre’s ‘fabulous’(?) and expensive-looking fashion sense was a coffin nail come deliberation time.
