Tibetans all over the world, led by His Holiness marked the passing with a minute's silence at 7:49 AM (local time) this morning.
Reliable reports from within Tibet conclude that over 10,000 people have been killed and over 120,000 made homeless in the earthquake. An appeal by the Dalai Lama to visit the Tibetan area was ignored by China.

There have been prayers, mass campaign for donations and relief efforts, especially through "4-14 Yushu Earthquake Charity Committee" as per the directives of the Kashag (Central Tibetab Administraton).''
