Security has been beefed up around the Mahabodhi Temple Complex with the screening of devotees being intensified, the official said. 

The Dalai Lama while addressing a gathering said, "If you are a believer, you need to think of others. If you only think of yourself that is not what is expected of you, always work for those who are in need." 

"We are born human beings, and wherever I may be, I will continue to work for humanity," he added.
