euronews - interview - Dalai Lama speaks to euronews

[LindaBernardi]

The Dalai Lama is a man I truly revere and is legacy will live on for an eternity.

[SavannahElliot]

is the interviewer crying? if not, she seems shes about to o.O

[ChristophJames89]

He always reminds me of Yoda =]

[antakyusilo]

i think this guy got problem..wearing rolex watch, going oversea for vacation....

he is a monk should stay in the temple!!! not going everywhere to promote his country...

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@antakyusilo He promotes freedom because he wants freedom for his country, For all people. The temple? His temple is in Tibet. If he returns he will be killed. Islam is about as peacefull as a nuke in a hand of a North Korean general. Fuck your cult. You know nothing of peace and freedom. You cult will soon come to an end.

[Donkeygamers]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

Your speech was not peaceful at all. Learn tolerance.

The Islam promotes peace, many islamists, however, do not.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@Donkeygamers Learn tolerance? I respeact all color, race and people but if some cult wants to destroy what my ancestors have fought for i will stand against that cult and bring it to the ground!!

I have read your book and i find it an intresting book on how to keep slaves. Many muslims are good people no doupt but same can not be said to what you so blindly belive in.

[Donkeygamers]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

I am no Muslim, and I am for peace in any way.

But you are the one saying that others are "blindly believing in a cult", yet, you seem not to know that the islam itself prohibits enslavement and violence.

If a radical islamist for instance attacks someone of a different belief, he does disobey the quran.

You wouldn't say it's the gouvernments fault if someone breaks the law either, right?

No one should destroy or hate on anything at all.

Peace.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@Donkeygamers Prohibits enslavement? True they say that they don't like it but it's quet clear that they have had and still have great many slaves.

A slave is someone who can not be who he is, can't do what they want, can't make up there own minds, someone who has to ask permision of a male to be able to do anything. The Shariah has many rules on how muslim males should dominate the rest.

I love peace and i am willing to fight for it just as we have done in the past.

[Donkeygamers]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

There is no peace in fighting.

Anyway, I will end this discussion here, it leads to nothing.

I am no muslim, so I think I said enough about it.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@Donkeygamers Fair enough sir but may say one thing. Yes there is no peace in fighting but sometimes in order to gain peace one must fight.

[Donkeygamers]

@TheIcelandicPatriot

Hm, I think that is a matter of opinion.

But I will let it there.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@Donkeygamers Yes lets leave it there. 

[antakyusilo]

Dalai should change his religion to ISLAM

ISLAM FOR THE PEACEFUL WORLD

[masrohman]

@antakyusilo

islam=peace???? search in google,,, Bali bomb,,,( indonesia)

search on youtube abu bakar baasyir,,jamaah islamiyah,,FPI,,,and terrorisme in indonesia,,

if you find that they never harmed their own country,,their fellowcitizens,,their fellow muslims brother,, than you can tell us islam is peaceful..

indonesia got tsunami,,arab world gave a fuck to indonesia,,while western helped indonesia A LOT

many muslim workers from indo got raped and killed by arab countries,,

[Licrans]

He is very smart, and it's why he is suspicious. In the world, his official image is of someone who deeply car about peace, who is altruistic but when we study his history, there's some element that don't fit in his official image. It look like he's deceiving the world.

But this things don't change the fairness of the message he advocate. It make him just less credible...

[rottonpiano85]

I love how the interviews like:

(omg.. I can hardly understand him.. this is takeing for ever.. god what time is it..only 10 more minute?! geez...)

ahh...yea..nice. how interesting. mhmmm.. sure thing..your smile, really hmm. great. *yea thats nice...so ANYWAYYYYSSS whats with the olympics.?

[csrtitus]

I dislike the interviewer.

[DaBomb7811]

Wooohooo! Dalai Lama! He is so cool and kind hearted! Love his smile and laugh!

[blandlife4ever]

Every time I hear him speak, his optimism, his humbleness and his infectious smile It gives me hope for the future of humanity. It is sooo very sad that such a man is viewed as the enemy. People should be striving to be more like him and not against him. He is a such a noble being.

[everl0l]

you should not show the reporters face in any interview. it is not the point of the such videos, neither it is of any interest.

[dorje168]

You WuMao CCP AGENTS are Blinded by your Ignorance and Delusions.

His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama is a fully Enlightened Buddha,

Manifestation of Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Loving Compassion, Patron Deity of Tibet,

His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama attained full Enlightenment many lifetimes ago, and chooses to reincarnate to serve and benefit all the sentient beings in the six realms.

Some Extremely unfortunate beings obscured by their ignorance and delusions view him as their enemy.

[dorje168]

THE FACTS ARE:

Tibet was a vassal state_ under Mongols and Manchu and was a de'facto independent state when Mao sent the troops in.

There where hardly any Chinese in central Tibet prior to Mao's invasion.

Tibets culture, written language, religion, arts etc are very distinctive from China's and

Tibetans have never thought of themselves as Chinese.

Tibetans will never accept that they are Chinese,

Tibetans are Tibetans.

[dorje168]

His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Happy 75th Birthday

Long Live His Holiness The Dalai Lama!

In the snowy mountain paradise, you're the source of good and happiness

Powerful Tenzin Gyatso Chenrezig may you stay until Samsara ends!

[chicharahill]

A person who claims to be a God who has some kind of a divine right to rule a country talks about democracy?

Thats a joke!

This guy - Dalai, is really annoying

[veglcube]

@chicharahill

He did not choose to be DL

he is said to be an incarnation of Dalai Lama

[chicharahill]

who said that? His fundamentalists fans?

Yea Osama probably thinks the same thing of himself.

Doesnt make Dalai any better. Religious fundamentalism is bad anyhwhere in the world

Tibetans need freedom and justice, like all people, not an another authoritarian regime, even worse may be - with a dictator that pretends to be god.

[aapje4242]

How dare you call the dalai lama a religious fundamentalist? He is the only prominent religious leader who has said that if an aspect of his religion is scientifically incorrect, that aspect should not be a part of his religion. He is the most unfundamentalistic prominent religious leader. Furthermore, he doesn't claim to be a god at all. He is a buddhist monk who is said to be the reincarnation of the previous dalai lama and therefore the right man to lead the Tibethan buddhism.

Free Tibet.

[IMBUED]

@chicharahill he doesnt consider himself a god. the buddhist idea is that all people are the buddha. Just because some people might see him as one doesnt mean he think or encouraged it.

[Jahooba]

@chicharahill Wow, this is the most ignorant comment I think I've ever read. You Chinese?

[fashionxue]

Dalai Lama is a 2-faced hippocratic

Liar and actor while talking about moral values, human rights and freedom whatsoever.

[booeytre]

To all wise commentators: Thank you for making - once again - the comments section more entertaining than the actual video on youtube!!! It also teaches more about human behavior if one reads closely how people comment, respond, react to interesting material! Good job you guys, who have a lot of time in front of the computer!!

[dorje168]

On one side we have the CCP, a Ruthless Regime that killed 50 million Chinese people.

On the other side we have His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who 20 million Vajrayana Buddhists believe is a fully Enlightened Buddha, manifestation of Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Loving Compassion.

Which one do you think educated people respect and believe?

[hisphoninesss]

The Dalai Lama demands religious freedom. Yet he persecutes a Buddhist sect that worships a deity called Dorje Shugden He poses as quirky, giggly, modern monk who once auctioned his Land Rover on eBay for $80,000 and has even done an advert for Apple . DLhas been remarkably nepotistic, appointing members of his family to many positions of prominence. In recent years, 3 of the 6 members of Kashag, the highest executive branch of Tibetan govt-in-exile, have been close relatives of Dalai Lama.

[dorje168]

Long live His Holiness The Dalai Lama

May all his wishes be achieved

[killerbug881]

Nobel Prize = support slavery

Why Dalai Lama did not stop the Tibet slavery in 1959 when he was in Tibet?

He had full power to do it but he did not do it and he got the Nobel prize.

He will never answer this question, But I know Lincoln free the slavery more than 100 years ago.

is that Nobel prize support the slavery?

[bluesoszhendi]

Tibte monks lying,lying lying lying,

again and again

[bluesoszhendi]

They gave Dalai Lama the nobel peace prize, saying that he used peaceful means to protect human rights. No such thing. Let me show you some history. Let's see, this is how Tibet, the high class people the Dalai Lama people abuse human rights. Human skin torn out. They said, Dalai Lama commanded — we need to do some religious ceremony and need human skin and they tear out human skin. Human skin.

[TheMrJ16]

the so called peace nobel award is a joke.

jimmy carter was also a peace nobel laureate and during his 4 years as president never inviited dalai lama in the white house, never pronounced the words tibet and dalai lama publicly.

[dorje168]

Tibet is a Holy and blessed Land and it belongs to the Tibetans Buddhists.

The Tibetans have so much support in the world because the Tibetan Cause is based on Truth and Justice.

End the suffering of the Tibetan people by returning the right of self-determination to the Tibetans.

The Tibetans will get Tibet back,

[brainwashedtibetan]

he has another face that westerner or europeans dont see.

[brainwashedtibetan]

give your people in india religious freedom dalai lama and you and your fanatic followers mustn discriminate the minorties.

[truththroughlogic]

lol If the dorje shugdun supporters would actually listen to his holiness's reasoning and broke it down with logic like the buddha has instucted us to do you would realize he does not discriminate.. he simply has other idea's..if any man on earth CLAIMS to be a buddha then he cannot be...his holiness is a simple munk it is human beings that place other labels on him.. he did not choose to be the dalai lama.

[MsZems]

@truththroughlogic a4iqi yeri yoxdu si4im aghzivuza

[MrShahnameh]

FREE TIBET !

DALAI LAMA RULES !

[dorje168]

Why is the Tibet question so intractable that no leader in Beijing has managed to resolve it so far?

1) Beijing is confronted with the Tibetan people whose sense of a united nationhood stretches back at least as far as the seventh century.

2) This is a religious issue for them, even after 50 years the devotion to His Holiness The Dalai Lama is as strong as ever. He is not only their King but he is also their Spiritual Guru.

[inld1908]

I do not know he is good or bad ,cause I can not can get any information from mainland .But Tibetans are also Chinese ,there shoud be a negotiation between Dalai and Chinese government.Dalai should not be used by Anti-china groups .

[iamlumin]

So you're suggesting that after hundreds of years we don't know what we are, we don't know our own history, we don't know our own people, and we should deny what our parents and grandparents have taught us? Very silly! Tibetans are not Chinese never have been and never will be. We have nothing against Chinese but we are simply not Chinese we are Tibetans with our own distinct language, culture, traditions, history, etc.

[chamdoGrl]

Long life his holiness the Dalailama. He is the only who thinks of others most important than himself. He even love chinese.

[dokpabhu]

love his messages and appreciate all his hard work for the betterment of our world.

Free Tibet. stop the genocide in tibet

[phallito]

I love his smile )))

[Zinnisan]

ach ja?

[bg24955]

to be fair, CIA is no longer funding dalai lama anymore. now they are called NED, promoting "iraqi freedom". democracy is the mean, ethnic conflict is the end, like iraq.

[heyunfeiwokong]

南无大悲观世音菩萨！！！！！！！！！

[futtkopf]

budismus intressiert ihn nicnt, damit kann er keine bestseller verkaufen und das firstclass reisen passt auch nicht zu budisten.. mit hausfrauen weisheiten lässt sich mehr geld machen, und seine gebrauchsesotherik ist für den pöbel einfacher zu konsumieren.

free tibet, fuck the dalei lama!!!!

[Ganeschar]

Das ist rechte Unterstellung, was soll ich davon halten ?

Am besten gar nicht.

[Ganeschar]

nicht nötig, danke

[alaya10008]

was fuer ein Bloedsinn

[Ganeschar]

so so warum lehrst du es nicht ?

[alaya10008]

Genau!

[sleepyhashknife]

sounds like yoda 5:10

[Sigfrid711]

I love his teachings! Thank you Dalai Lama for what you have done all this years for all human beings!

[snowlandboytulku]

dalai lama is statesman..

[czrsilp]

why chinese are so afraid of 'freedom.'?

[bg24955]

no, china is afraid of iraqi freedom + ethnic/sectarian free hands to whatever they want.

[czrsilp]

Dalai Lama calls himself 'simple buddhist monk,' not living god.

[liguiyuan]

As a foreigner, it's difficult for me to understand his works due to his accents.

[tonglingzc]

Mr. Gyatso is regarded by his followers as, and thinks of himself as, a living god. Plop.

[jaimejshow]

Thank you for the video post. Love HIS Messages:D

[MortieTheDoomed]

i dunno y but to me looks like interviewer gonna start to cry any minut xD

[MartialArtistWannabe]

To me, it looks like she's about to laugh at his accent lol. She was a crappy interviewer though, didn't even look interested and barely tried to pretend that she found his jokes amusing.

[edvan88]

What are the views of Dalai Lama and all the "free Tibet " assholes about the South Ossetia province which want to split out of Georgia.

[giorgiobello1]

the view of Dalai Lama about you is compassion as you use bad words to say a concept.

[edvan88]

Why Dalai Lama don't discuss publicly on issues like the invasion of Iraq. Either he approves it or he is not free to talk

[walkertongdee]

he is not a political leader and it would be inapropriate.

[Ganeschar]

we are very satisfied with him.

[edvan88]

i still have a Time magazine issue of the week Deng Xiaoping visited the US in 1978. I take note that in this special issue nothing is said about Tibet or Dalai Lama. The editorialists write nothing about Tibet and no Pro Dalai Lama demonstrations were reported. Dalai lama was completely ignored. WHY

[dickmasterek]

Dalai Lama is Dalai Lama we can't talk about him bad things ;]

[bunnypea]

He is beautiful, and pure. Just be a good person is what he says, you negative people are way off and have a lot to learn. Just be kind,know respect and empathy.

[Antifreetibet]

he be pure used just like a foo.

[AwsomWarrior]

@bunnypea be mindful friend , the dali lama holds both light and dark so those who see his shadows are seeing there own reflected , and people like you see your own light reflected good to see you carry the light more than the dark

[forceofdust]

What a great guy. I can't help laughing or smiling when he does!

[messalini]

The world saw how Tibetans attacked at Chinese nation in Western countries fighting with Olympic torch,how they cried on cameras of CNN,BBC after killing non Tibetans in Lhasa.Many know why followers of Shugden were killed in India,and how was Dalai's puppet Tibet under Britain's authority where lamas were beating human skin drum,with human bone, drinking from human skull made cups.Tibetan lamaism worship Gods as well as Satans,lamas pray not only for good but also for someone's bad for MONEY!

[antwbangtokyo]

fucking what do you know about lamas???????? if you car your fucking Nation than leave the Tibet and go back to home, dont let us kill you

[messalini]

Ha ha.You Tibetan lamas curse so dirty when someone tells a truth about Tibetan lamaism. Can you deny the fact that in many rituals Tibetans use human remaining,Lamaism worship Satan,Tibetan lamas pray for someone's bad for money ripping off ordinary folks hard earned money? Have you seen a Tibetan who work honestly earning for their life? Have you seen a Tibetan national who are honest and decent?Throughout history there were no single Tibetan general or soldier at all.Why?

[MortieTheDoomed]

lmao it's obviously u know NOTHING about llamas moron..haha..xD

[hintuition]

hmm, I do not get him, a little weird. nato in russia? are u kidding me? Jesus would not approve this.

[Humanbeing108]

Yes, we here in Czech Rep. also love you very much.

[chamdoGrl]

His Holiness you are the one in this world who have compassion even to your enemy. At this time everyone is after money and their own profit but you are one who are thinking for others. Long live His Holiness The Dalailama.

[messalini]

Is He a GOD or Dirty Tibetan nazi Politician who hiding behind Western powers backstabbing neighboring Asian nations in monk robs? Setting wars between 2 Asian great cultures such as India and China,pressing countries such as Myangmar and Nepal by Western powers, Tibetans forget Tibet would stay forever in Asia and US and Britain wouldn't build for 2.4 million Tibetans 1000 km railroad through Hymalain rocks above 8000m see level from India to Lhasa spending some trillion $.

[monnie110]

How could you dare to even say something like that? He is one of the most humble people in the world. He doesn't think he is God and has said, "i'm no one special" it's everyone else who thinks he is Buddha reborn.

China is just so greedy and horrible in their methods of politics. Yet the US is still making China rich and helping hugely in funding their attacks and persecution of Tibet.

[messalini]

There are too many dirty politicians wearing masks on their ugly faces.

Dalai who stood outside of the Potalla greeting Mao's troops in 1949,by CIA's help fled to India in year of 1959 when India and China reached an agreement to build a railroad that would connect 2 countries. Dalai's nazi followers in Lhasa looted more than 1000 Chinese owned enterprises,beated more than 400 ppl 28 of them to death on march.They even burned alive 4 flower girls alive only because they were not Tibetans.NAZI

[hodu9090]

[su79nioj]

If you can find a Afghan rebel that the Moscow bullets missed - Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist.

Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet - How many monks did the Chinese get?

In any war-torn swamp stop any mercenary, can check the British bullets in his armoury.

Que?

Sandinista!
