Alejandra Silva and Richard Gere have returned to their social media with a new and revealing post. In it, this high-profile couple has revealed to their followers the latest dream they've been able to make come true: attending the 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama.
Beyond his successful career in Hollywood, Richard Gere's life changed forever in 1977. That year, this well-known actor took a trip to Nepal, where he was able to live with Tibetan monks and lamas. Since then, his connection to spirituality has been deep and constant.
So much so that, in addition to his well-known conversion to Buddhism, Alejandra Silva's husband is a staunch defender of rights for the liberation of Tibet. This is something that can be seen in one of his latest audiovisual projects.
Meanwhile, Richard Gere keeps a great friendship with the XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. His commitment to the Tibetan cause has led him to actively participate in events related to the country's culture and spirituality.
In fact, thanks to their close relationship, the actor has been one of the people who have had the opportunity to attend the 90th birthday of the religious leader. These festivities have taken place in Dharamsala (India), the place where the Dalai Lama is exiled.
During this celebration, we've been able to see Richard Gere being blessed by his friend and advisor, in an emotional encounter full of symbolism. However, he hasn't been the only one to congratulate him.
Through her Instagram profile, Alejandra Silva has shared several photographs in which we can see the couple with the Dalai Lama. These snapshots, without a doubt, reveal the strong bond that exists between them.

Everything suggests that, despite the friendship she keeps with the Dalai Lama, Alejandra Silva hasn't been able to be at his birthday in India with Richard Gere. However, she hasn't wanted to miss the chance to congratulate him through social media.
The publicist hasn't thought twice about sharing her most personal photo album with Tenzin Gyatso. She completed the post with an emotional birthday greeting: "Your Holiness, my beloved friend, teacher, and guiding light. Happy 90th birthday!"
"The world stops to honor the luminous life you've lived. But for me, it's also a personal celebration of the warmth, wisdom, and playful joy you've so generously shared," she added.
In addition, Alejandra Silva has taken the opportunity to thank him "for showing us, by your example, that compassion is an active force." "That a single kind thought can spread across continents and that laughter is a universal prayer," she added.
Meanwhile, Richard Gere's wife has wanted to highlight his "unbreakable commitment to peace and the dignity of every being." "I join millions of people in wishing you full health, inexhaustible happiness, and the unbreakable serenity you inspire in others," she wrote.
"May your loving presence accompany us for many more years, lighting our path toward a more compassionate world. With deep gratitude, affection, and devotion," Alejandra Silva concluded, showing her emotion for the Dalai Lama's 90 years.
