Dalai Lama Is Taking A Subtle And

Dalai Lama Was Leading His Country During The Rigors Of World War Ii, He Was In Beijing For A Year In 1954; He Was Up Against Mao Zedong And Zhou Enlai From The Time That He Was Fifteen. So He's No Newcomer Or Naive When It Comes To Politics.

He [the Dalai Lama] Has Made It His Mission To Say, "we Can't Afford To Squabble Over Minor Differences, We Have To Concentrate On What We Have In Common, Our Common Mission, Our Common Culture - And Indeed What We Have In Common With The Rest Of The World."
