The new Tibetan National Anthem or the Gyallu is being adopted and widely used by all the Tibetans-in-exile. Though it is forbidden to be played in Chinese-controlled Tibet, most Tibetans in-exile know how to sing it, even the young kids know.

The poetic lyrics touched on the radiance of Buddha, the glory of Buddha’s teachings (and the Dalai Lama) and most significantly the spirit of Tibetans to fight for their freedom.

… In the battle against negative forces
may the auspicious sunshine of the teachings and beings of
Tibet and the brilliance of a myriad radiant prosperities
be ever triumphant.

Central Tibetan Administration publishes the full lyrics on its website: http://tibet.net/about-tibet/tibetan-national-anthem/

One thing really amused me is that, the webpage didn’t mentioned who wrote it. Seems the CTA officers though proudly promote this lyric but too ashamed to admit it was composed by none other than the great master they tried to discredit i.e. HH Trijang Dorje Chang.

Most of the senior Tibetans knew this fact but CTA is trying to hide the truth from the younger generations.

The following links confirmed the Gyallu was composed by HH Trijang Dorje Chang.

Shame on you CTA.
