The other is that many Chinese nationalists see positive comments about the Dalai Lama as a cover for anit-China sentiment.

Most profoundly, he leaves the question unanswered about what the Dalai Lama actually does with the information he consumes.

Similarly, the Dalai Lama has won a Nobel Peace Prize, congressional gold medal (highest civilian honor), honorary citizenships and doctorates.

Didn't realise the Dalai Lama was a controversial figure just judging from some of the early comments here he is.

If nothing else about the Dalai Lama were impressive, overseeing that transition alone would be.

The Dalai Lama -- and the Tibetan government in exile -- are in Dharamsala, India which is GMT + 5 1/2.

Fun fact: the dalai lama was once the world's largest slave owner in feudal tibet.

Well that is pretty judgmental, and doesn't sound like something the Dalai Lama would say.

So what if the Dalai Lama visited my school and not hers, or that my D1 athletic teams were nationally ranked.

Other big difference: * The Dalai Lama doesn't want to form a theocracy.

Personally I think the Dalai Lama is the real deal, someone who has compassion for everyone.

Also, I would say that the Dalai Lama's teachings aren't meant to be intellectually rich.

Say anything critical of the Chinese government's policy towards Tibet and/or the Dalai Lama, and watch the broken English "rebuttals" pouring in like the flood.

It's interesting that the Dalai Lama stated "after twenty we begin to grow old" -- for the majority of us, that seems to be when life barely begins itself.

In their minds, anything pro-Dalai Lama is proof that Chinas enemies are conducting a smear campaign agains China.
