Even though we live in Dharamshala, we feel very blessed and happy to see him whenever he goes somewhere or returns here, so we come here to get his blessings."
While staying in Ladakh, the Dalai Lama drove from Shewatsel Phodrang into Leh city, where he made a pilgrim’s visit to the Jokhang, the principal temple there, according to the Dalai Lama's website. 
“Having arrived in Ladakh,” His Holiness told the gathering, “today, I’ve come here to the Jokhang. We all rely on the following verse from ‘Entering the Bodhisattva Way’.

More importantly, you have done so with heartfelt faith. I’d like to thank you."
“Tibetans have a special bond with Chenrezig, the Great Compassionate One. Since the time of King Songtsen Gampo, we have had our own written language. Then, during the reign of Trisong Detsen, the great Abbot and foremost scholar of Nalanda, Shantarakshita was invited to the Land of Snow. He advised that since we had our own language, we should translate Indian Buddhist literature from Sanskrit and Pali into Tibetan," he added. 
During his stay in Ladakh, he also isited the Great Buddha Statue at Stok and Ladakhi Muslim Community, as per the Dalai Lama's website. (ANI)
