Dear Ms.Bonino and Mr.D'Elia,

Mr.Gyaltag is honoured to have received your invitation to partecipate in the Easter March. As the goals you will march for are very important, Mr.Gyaltag would have very much liked to be with you in Rome. Unfortunately, he has an urgent engagement here in Switzerland on 3rd april and will, therefore, not be able to participate in the Easter March. However, Mr.Gyaltag conveys you his message to this important event.

Mr.Gyaltag would also like to inform you that His Holiness the Dalai Lama will visit Italy in the beginning of June. His Holiness will also visit Rome. If the Partito radicale should like to meet with His Holiness at that occasion, Mr.Gyaltag would like you to contact him as early as possible.

Sincerely

Yangdol Panglung

Assistant

Message of Mr.Gyaltsen Gyaltag

Dear Friends,

although I am not able to march with you in my thoughts.

As member of a people with a long tradition of adhering to the Buddhist philosophy of non-violence and the respect of all forms of life, I welcome your initiative for the abolition of the death penalty and your efforts for the establishment of legal regulation against crimes against humanity.

With my best wishes for a numerous and successful participation,

sincerely

Gyaltsen Gyaltag

Representative of H.H.the Dalai Lama
