HADLEY — The 14th Dalai Lama’s 91st birthday, and a premiere of a community documentary, will be celebrated by the Regional Tibetan Association of Massachusetts Monday.
Tibetans are gathering at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 120 Russell St., starting at 11 a.m., to culminate the global Year of Compassion that began in July 2025.
The celebration will feature cultural performances, community tributes, remarks and the world premiere of the community documentary film “Year of Compassion: Massachusetts Tribute to the Dalai Lama at 90.”
