As Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal today, Voice of America (VOA) broadcast the award ceremony and the Dalai Lama's acceptance speech live to Tibet via radio, television, and the Internet. The same broadcast included videotaped testimonials of the heads of all six sects of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Congressional Medal ceremony will be rebroadcast in several formats to Tibet and elsewhere in China and will be available for viewing at www.voanews.com/tibetan/.
At the risk of sounding like a real geek, the US Mint has produced a bronze replication of the gold medal given to His Holiness...http://www.usmint.gov/ to details and ordering.
I should have mine in 1-2 weeks. :o)
