“But they accuse – accusations as to just more,for them,suitable for their basic policy,” he said,when asked about the Chinese allegation that he is a political troublemaker and even a separatist.

“Sometimes I really feel,as I think many of my friends know,I always am described as a simple Buddhist monk. I always tell other people,my friends,we should be honest,truthful,transparent. So while I am telling other people,I myself must implement these things,” he said.

According to CNN,the Dalai Lama said he will not meet with Taiwan’s President to avoid politicising the trip.
