Mainz, Germany — The Dalai Lama thinks Europe has let in "too many" refugees.
The Tibetan spiritual leader said that "we feel the misery" of each individual refugee and that humans have a "responsibility to help" — but that there are "too many" who have been accepted in Europe. Image: The Dalai Lama The Dalai Lama BEN STANSALL / AFP - Getty Images
"Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany," he laughed in an interview published Tuesday with Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. "There are so many."
The Dalai Lama said that "from a moral standpoint" he thinks refugees should "only be accommodated temporarily" — with the goal of them returning home to rebuild their countries.
Germany took in over 1 million refugees last year from war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year.
The influx of migrants and refugees has led to a spike in anti-foreigner sentiment in Germany.

Plus, he’s a big hitter, The Lama.
He’s big alright. That boy needs to hit the treadmill. Interesting that he’s in lock-step with Trump on immigration.
He knows first hand what happens when a culture is swamped with unwelcome foreign immigration. In his and Tibet’s case Han Chinese.
I was raised a catholic....
That being said...
Pope Jesuit McSocialist will probably calls for Europe to take more refugees, while the Dali Lama is ringing the alarm gong to not take any more refugees and send back the ones that won’t assimilate....
Damn.... I was raised a Catholic, but right now, I am siding with a Buddhist....
If Pope “Jesuit the Socialist” keeps this crap up I may just have to replace Amen with Namaste - sarc
When the Dalai Lama tells you to check yourself.....
Sherlock Lama.
LOLOL!!
This is an IMMORAL posiiton, because Europe must totally open itself to the barbarian invaders!! /sarcasm
How bad is it when the Dalai Lama has a better feel for the German culture than the German government? Plus, I love his boots.
>”Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany,”
True, when speaking geographically. The inbred. mental disturbed and evil way of islam can make it as bad or worse than the sand lands where this filth came from.
He probably is thinking of his friend, Henrik Harrer (though he was Austrian). Good on ya, Dalai. You’re more Catholic than the “Pope.”
That Nazi./s
The Dali Lama will now be destroyed
I wish The Pope would say something like that.
Betcha the next time the Dalai Lama visits the White House, President Trump won’t make him walk by the garbage cans.
Well you do know the swastika is a buddhist symbol..../s
There! That proves it!/s
Well..duuh!
