At Gyuto, though no large celebration was planned, many people showed up to wish His Holiness well.
雖然，並沒有準備大規模的為法王祝壽，但是仍然有1000多僧眾和信眾到來，希望供養法王並獲法王加持。大家把上密院大殿中擠得水瀉不通，走廊陽台上都是人。

Offerings were made by representatives of the Tsurphu Labrang and Sherab Ling Monastery, and long life prayers were performed by a gathering of supplicants.
天氣是出奇的好！一大早，智慧林大司徒仁波切和楚布拉布讓同仁向法王獻曼達，然後誦祈請法王長壽文。

His Holiness gave a teaching in the afternoon. In Rumtek, celebrations were presided over by HE Gyaltsab Rinpoche and a video message specially taped by His Holiness was played for the attendees.
[尊貴的國師嘉察仁波切在錫金隆德寺法輪中心為法王舉行慶典和法會。法王準備了錄影帶，當天早晨，在隆德寺對約3000多人播放。]

下午2:30，法王會見大眾，並發表談話，法王說生日本來是沒有什麼好慶祝的，出生帶來的是苦、病、老和死亡。但是如果一個人的出生，能有機會接觸到真正的佛法上師，和為了利己及利益一切眾生而修習所學之法教，則此出生是值得珍習的。法王祈願所有來參加的人都誠實、有善心、不虛偽。法王感謝所有來參加他生日會的人及全世界為他生日祝福的人。最後，他引述寂天菩薩(Shantideva)的偈語來表達他對大乘佛法堅定的信心：

『乃至有虛空，以及眾生住，願吾住世間，盡除眾生苦！』

下午在上密院生日會結束前，大家喝茶、用甜飯、麻花(kapse)和生日蛋糕。傍晚下了一場約30分鐘的甘露雨。
