TOKYO - Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, told a Japanese opposition party politician that democratization would make China a more predictable neighbor, a news report said Saturday.Yeah, what the big dragon really needs is a little sitting meditation.
The Dalai Lama, ending a 14-day visit to Japan, said surrounding countries have difficulty knowing what actions "the big dragon" — referring to China — will take, Kyodo News agency said.
According to the Japanese lawmaker, Yukio Edano of the Democratic Party of Japan, the Dalai Lama said China would become predictable if it democratized and "the dragon will become calm," Kyodo reported.
The Japanese government allowed the Dalai Lama to enter Japan on the condition that he not engage in any political activities.The man is a political activity.
I'd actually like the Dalai Lama to be more political. I would like to hear what he has to say, as a spiritual leader, on important global political topics. But aside from the issue of Tibet, he has tended to shy away from controversy.
南無阿彌陀佛
