Conservative Religious Leader Likes Religious Conservative Leader
Why is this worth mentioning?
Because a lot of folks don't bother to find out what the Dalai Lama believes.
The head of the Tibetan government-in-exile left the audience stunned when he said "I love President George W Bush." He went on to add how he and the US President instantly struck a chord in their first meeting unlike politicians who take a while to develop close ties.
"I told him 'I love you but some of your policies I oppose'," said the spiritual leader to a loud round of applause from the audience which included Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, Election Commissioner Navin Chawla and several ministers, diplomats and artistes.
My mom has often remarked that the Dalia Lama probably has more beliefs common with the Pope than the various celebs who lay claim to the exotic religion.
