Quote:
Beijing reviles the Dalai Lama and frequently denounces him, alleging that he wants independence for Tibet.
When asked if China was the enemy, the Tibetan spiritual leader demurred.
“Not China. Some hard-liner Communists. They really brought a lot of suffering,” he said.
But the Nobel peace laureate said the solution was not to hate them back.
“I myself deliberately visualized them and practiced tolerance,” he told reporters.
He said he tries to take “their anger, their jealously, their suspicion … then give them, through visualization, give them compassion, forgiveness…. That kind of practice (doesn’t) help to solve the problem, but that practice is immense help to maintain my peace of mind.”
