DHARAMSALA, October 5 — Irish humanitarian Richard Moore, whom His Holiness the Dalai Lama publicly refers to as “my hero,” met the Tibetan spiritual leader in Dharamsala on Monday and presented him with a gift from the Mayor of Derry. Moore’s life has been shaped by childhood injury, humanitarian work and a reconciliation with the British soldier whose shot left him blind. His journey from losing his sight to forming a friendship with the man responsible is a story of forgiveness with a deeply personal foundation.
