   In a bold show of reverence and spiritual allegiance, a monastery in Amdo   
   Ngaba held public celebrations to mark the Dalai   
   Lama’s 80th birth year on the first day of Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Over   
   3,000 people came to offer prayer scarfs to a   
   life sized portrait of the 14th Dalai Lama with paper Lungta prayer flags   
   filling the sky above Sergon Thubten Chokle Namgyal   
   Ling, a monastery belonging to the Jonang school of Tibetan Buddhism.   
   The practice of celebrating people when they reach the age of 80 is called   
   Kyarton, and is a commonly practiced tradition in   
   the Amdo region of historical Tibet. The Dalai Lama’s 80th year has been   
   heavily anticipated in recent years with major   
   ceremonies and celebrations planned to take place around the world but not in   
   Tibet where the Chinese rulers of the region   
   have been forcing Tibetans to disown their support of the Dalai Lama since   
   1994. The surprisingly bold public celebration at   
   this monastery comes amidst heavy security build up in the region in the days   
   leading up to the Tibetan New Year, leading   
   some Tibetans to fear that the monastery may suffer reprisals from the   
   authorities once the New Year holidays are over.
