On Friday, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama urged people worldwide to "collectively" oppose weapons of mass destruction.

Recalling the immense havoc done by atomic bombs in Japan during WWII, the Dalai Lama stated during his public address today that he had the opportunity to visit Hiroshima and observe for himself the magnitude of massive devastation there.

On August 6 and 9, 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.

A group of Japanese devotees approached the Nobel Peace Prize laureate at the Kalchakra maidan before the start of discourses on the writings of famed Buddhist scholar Nagarjuna, offering him a torch of flame and seeking his blessings.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met the Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya on Friday.

Kumar arrived at the Tibetan Monastery, where the Nobel Peace Prize recipient is residing, and was greeted warmly by the octogenarian, with whom he spent over half an hour.
