He didn't say much about Obama...I guess that's diplomatic? I do stand corrected, tho, b/c I was misinformed about the decision for last year's visit not to take place-I was blaming it all on the Pres.; I see now that they agreed on that? hmm, more diplomacy, I hope. I would like to hear more of what he was saying here re: the China relations situation. Maybe the rest of this interview is on here somewhere?

@Mr4thGeorge There's scandal around this Lama's being against a certain religious practice, Dorje Shugden, but any destruction of property or harassment has been at the hands of his followers; not done, nor ordered by himself. And there is NO account of any mutilation around this.(on that, you may be thinking of the previous -13th Lama.) If you are going to hold a leader responsible for the actions of his followers and call him evil, well that pretty much covers every leader, all the time.

In horror movies, most people try to escape from 'crazy' people that trying to hurt them.

If they are Americian, and terriorism has not broken down their normal functional-society, they would call for help from greater authorities. If you have a large family or town-friends, you would gather support, and hope to out number the crazy person, to restrain them. If they out number you...you and the town people could re-locate...walk away from the path of war and violence...

This sounds bad. China sound anti-diplomacy and "play-by-the-rules." In my opinion, Obama is following in the Dalai Lama's footstep, seeking communication and probably trying to use reasonable approaches (he is a diplomat). What do you do when you choose reason over violence...yet you cannot make (without using force) someone (or large group) stop poisioning your environment?

How can Tibet lead China towards less violence and onto a path of reason?

I'm sick of all religious freaks, Buddhists included. So what if they don't have jihads and Inquisitions, they're still absurd.

[Mr4thGeorge]

soo you know the dalai lama is absolutely guilty of oppressing his own people. Look it up. Mutilations. Both of the governments over there are no good.
