Richard Gere was here in India and not in search of \u2018Pretty Woman\u2019 as you would think. The famous Hollywood actor decided to ring in the new year by attending the sermons of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.<\/em><\/p>\n

While normal people like us make new year resolutions only to break them later, the 70-year old veteran actor went ahead for spiritual cleansing. He landed in Bodh Gaya earlier this week to attend the Kalachakra sessions led by the Dalai Lama from January 2 to January 6.<\/p>\n

He can be seen praying and chanting mantras in the photos that have been doing the rounds on the internet. He was also spotted interacting with Buddhist monks and fellow visitors.<\/p>\n

Bodh Gaya in Bihar is an important religious site since it is where Buddha attained enlightenment. Mahabodhi Temple<\/a> Complex dominates the region with its colossal and cosmic presence. It sounds like a great place for peace and enlightenment if that’s what you are after.<\/p>\n

Richard Gere was not the only Hollywood actor who came to India for spiritual cleansing. The Ugly truth actor Gerard Butler also decided to spend his New Year in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand with his girlfriend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
