In Belgium, prayer service was organised to honour late Kasur Gyalo Thondup’s remarkable contributions to Tibet’s religion, politics, and people following his passing away on 8 February. The service, held on 16 February 2025, at the Nalanda Institute in Brussels, was jointly hosted by multiple Tibetan associations and organisations from the Belgian Tibetan community. It aimed to offer prayers for his swift attainment of higher spiritual realisations and to commemorate his lifelong dedication.
The event, attended by a diverse group of local governmental and non-governmental representatives, as well as over 200 Tibetan community members from six major Belgian cities, included speeches that highlighted the deceased’s biography and achievements. During the service, several families generously sponsored the expenses for the venue, refreshments, and tea.
