Dalai Lama begins visit to Canada
“The Dalai Lama, the exiled leader of Tibet’s Buddhists, arrived in Ottawa on Sunday at the start of a visit to Canada that will include a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.”
Would I have gone to the public talk in Toronto .. had i been residing in Toronto..?? I probably would, afterall, one doesn’t get to meet the Dalai Lama on a daily event. The 72 yrs old Buddhist monk is the 14th Dalai Lama addressed a crowd of 8,000 at the Ottawa Civic Center this afternoon.
The Chinese authorities have said they see any public meeting between the Dalai Lama and political leaders as interfering in China’s affair. Speculations that this meeting will hurt relationships between Canada.. and China. But Stephen Harper is still going ahead with the meet up. This makes me wonder.. is all Chinese.. so “pa tou” one..?? If i donch friend him.. no one else can..?? For this I applaud Canada.. because I know that in Singapore.. they would stay far, far away…like in the case of Malaysia’s ex- deputy prime minister Anwar. I was quite upset.. that the Singapore leaders .. didn’t do anything at all for Anwar.. when he was in need of a friends. Superficial eh..?? some ppl are..!
