From thestar.com.my: IT is disappointing that the Star Two on April 15 reproduced a Los Angeles Times article which is a highly biased misrepresentation of the Tibetan situation.
It is clear that the Dalai Lama is not a simple Buddhist monk as he has styled himself in the title of his book.
Unlike the Buddha who gave up a kingdom for spiritual pursuits, the Dalai Lama wants to be the supreme leader running Tibet, deciding on their education, cultural practices and way of life.
