  • He was 15 years old when forced by the commie invasion to assume his duties. And you want to blame him for Tibet's social ills (rural peasants were more like sharecroppers, not slaves).

    HHDL loved the democratic ideal even then, and they would have modernized their country if they'd been left alone. Now after half a century of CCP rule, what have they got? Obliteration by Han colonization. PRC - the last colonialist empire.

  • Relax everyone. His Holiness the Dalai Lama said:

    * He promotes Tibet autonomy, not independence.

    * Tibet needs China's help to modernize.

    Tibet has been a part of China for 800 years. You can argue all you want, but that's just the FACT.

  • Fantasy. See my reply to you on Part 1.

  • Can anyone tell me if Mdm Speaker is also a Buddhist? Thanks

  • No, she isn't, but she has known His Holiness for many years. So she's very familiar with Tibetan custom, and the hands together greeting (what we call "wai" in Thailand) comes naturally to her.

  • Long live His Holiness the Dalai Lama! If everybody were as humble as His Holiness, the world would be a much better place.

  • China must seriously negotiate with the Tibetan leader, HHDL. This is the only way to clean up their dirty karma in this matter.

    The world is watching to see if China will show maturity and character or if they are still a brutal, backwards communist regime.

  • @banzaidawan Tibet is not a part of China. In FACT, the Yuan Dynasty was not a Chinese Dynasty, it was a Mongolian Dynasty when the Mongols invaded both China first and then Tibet. The Chinese government can mislead its people in any way they want but history can't be changed. Even the word Dalai is Mongolian for ocean when the Mongols bestowed the name Dalai Lama to past Dalai Lamas since the Mongols were influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. This still persists today in Mongolian culture today.

  • long live his holiness! you have always given your best and done the most possible for tibet and for that every tibetan stands fully behind you!

  • @joeyayoub Have you ever heard of the saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely? Research into old feudal tibet to know what I'm talking about! Tibetans need the love of Jesus Christ!

  • @agam4

    If the dalai lama loves democratic ideals so much why has there never been a election to determine the lamaship??? He and his exiles are so keen on modernizing that dharamsala is world famous for its tibetan slums! You're a pathetic joke and a brainwashed sheep. Tibetan need the love of Jesus Christ!

  • We can all learn from the Dalhi Lama, In the face of adversity and being exiled from his homeland, how did he respond?

    Loving kindness.

  • hey, when you grow up you don't need to ask permission just please do... ^_^

  • LONG LIVE HIS HOLINESS THE DAlAI LAMA
