i had a chance to meet the Dalai Lama once when he toured the US back in the late 80s. I was a young journalist then. I has struck by his serenity. I am glad to read this statement by the Dalai Lama. It only reinforces the obvious. There are times for non-violence and there are times for action. A grounding in the ways of peace of the soul and mind will tell one the difference.

I was also heartened to read that he was a fan of the President. How will the "talker-elect" come off amongst world leaders?

Historically, the Tibetans are not a pacific people, not so?
