Dalai Lama, along with several members of the entertainment industry reacted with sadness and came forward to express their condolences following the death of 'Beastie Boys' rapper Adam Yauch on Friday May 4. 2012.
The rock star, also known as MCA, passed away after a long battle with cancer.
The Buddhist monk met with Yauch several times, most recently in July 2011.
Yauch, who was born to a Catholic father and Jewish mother, had long practised Tibetan Buddhism after converting in 1994.
"Adam had helped us raise awareness on the plight of the Tibetan people by organizing various freedom Tibet concerts and he will be remembered by his holiness and the Tibetan people," the Dalai Lama stated. MORE HERE & HERE
