I WONDER THAT 20 YEARS AGO IT DOES SOUND LIKE MODESTY BUT THEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE SAYS WHEN HE HAS... |
| 00:42:13 |
|
EVERY MORNING. IN FACT, HE THINKS OF AS A FINAL EXAM HE HAS BEEN STUDYING 68 YEARS HE IS EAGER TO... |
| 00:42:41 |

HE IS BECAUSE THAT IS A FUNDAMENTAL BOSS OF THAT IS LIKE THE POPE ENDORSING THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN.... |
| 00:50:15 |
|
I GUESS I HAVE THAT IN COMMON. HOW DOES THE DOLLY LLAMA SENT OFF THESE YOUNG TIBETANS CRUSADE JUST... |
| 00:50:44 |
|
HIS ANSWER FIRST IS ANYTHING THAT YOU DO CONFRONTATIONAL WILL BRING MORE SUFFERING TO TIBET TO. YOU... |
| 00:52:22 |
|
WHEN I WAS THERE AT IN THE 1990'S THERE WAS SOME TENSION WHERE HE LIVES BETWEEN THESE INDIANS THAT... |
| 00:53:08 |
|
POTENTIAL YOU ARE RIGHT TO THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME ATTENTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DISRUPTIONS... |
| 00:53:41 |
|
YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LOT OVER GLOBALIZATION AS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE TOPIX. I AM WONDERING HAS THE DALAI... |
| 00:53:56 |
|
ON THE ONE HAND YOU HAVE IMPLYING ALL OVER THE WORLD, INTERNET, AT EMAIL, WITH THE DIASPORA IS ABLE... |
| 00:54:28 |
|
OVERALL IN-HOUSE BEN BENEFICIAL. TO SAY THEY HAVE GONE GLOBAL THIS PLACE WHEN MY PARENTS WERE GROWING... |
| 00:55:31 |
|
IT IS A FAILURE? |
| 00:55:34 |
|
NO HE IS A RIGHT THAT POLITICIANS ARE PRAGMATIST SO NOBODY WILL DIVIDE CHINA WITH A COUNTRY WITH NO... |
| 00:55:43 |
|
THE REVIEWS OF YOUR BOOK HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE BUT THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL ONE BUT I WILL... |
| 00:56:05 |
|
THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT FOR YOU ARE RIGHT PARTLY BECAUSE MUCH OF CHINA'S CRITICISM AND CELEBRATION... |
| 00:57:23 |
|
I WILL GO TO QUESTIONS TO THE AUDIENCE BY HAVE TWO MORE QUICK ONE SPARC '01 IS THAT THE DALAI LAMA... |
| 00:57:38 |
|
I THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ASK WHICH AIRLINE. |
| 00:57:41 |
|
NOT COACH? |
| 00:57:43 |
|
NO. MAYBE FOR SECURITY REASONS. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:57:56 |
|
MY LAST QUESTION IS YOU NEWS OF DALAI LAMA SOMEONE BEFORE HAND OR YOU HAVE THIS LONG RELATIONSHIP... |
| 00:58:29 |
|
A VERY GOOD QUESTION. I WAS MORE SURPRISED BY HIS CONSISTENCY. HE IS NEVER OFF MESSAGE BECAUSE THAT... |
| 00:58:39 |
|
A WASHINGTON POLITICIAN KIND OF WAY? |
| 00:58:44 |
|
IN A NON WASHINGTON IT MONK KIND OF WAY BECAUSE HE MEDITATES NINE HOURS PER DAY AND PART OF WHAT THAT... |
| 00:58:56 |
|
NINE HOURS PER DAY? |
| 00:58:58 |
|
YES. WHEN YOU PICK UP THE BOTTLE HE IS INSTANTLY ATTENDING TO YOU THE DAY AFTER HE WON THE NOBEL ... |
| 00:59:36 |
|
THERE IS NO BIRD TO DROP. |
| 00:59:41 |
|
EXACTLY. HE IS SO OUT OF SELF-CONSCIOUS HE WILL PLAY WITH HIS ROBE. |
| 00:59:48 |
|
IT IS VERY DISARMING I HAVE SEEN HIM THEY EXPECT HIM TO BE REVERENTIAL AND DISSIDENT RIETI IS WARM... |
| 00:59:59 |
|
THERE IS NO GUARD TO DROP. YOU FRAME THE PITIFULLY. -- IT BEAUTIFULLY. |
| 01:00:06 |
|
I CAN SEE YOU. WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? |
| 01:00:13 |
|
BEFORE 1950, BEFORE THE DOLLY LAMA WENT AWAY FROM CHINA HE IS A LEADER OF TIBET. WHAT DO YOU THINK... |
| 01:00:26 |
|
OF COURSE, HE WAS ONLY 14 YEARS OLD WHEN THE CHINESE TROOPS ARRIVED. SARA LEE HE DID NOT HAVE MUCH... |
| 01:03:08 |
|
RIGHT HERE. |
| 01:03:12 |
|
I HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT TIBET SHOULD BE A SEPARATE COUNTRY, DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS VIEW? |
| 01:03:20 |
|
YES. THE DALAI LAMA SINCE 1987 SAID SAVE TO THAT. MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT ONCE UPON A TIME HE SPOKE... |
| 01:04:12 |
|
QUESTION OVER HERE. |
| 01:04:15 |
|
CHINA WILL ACCEPT THIS VIEW? REPORTS FROM THE TALKS, DOING A VERY PESSIMISTIC DALAI LAMA -- |
| 01:04:32 |
|
THE RESOLUTION -- |
| 01:04:38 |
|
HE HAS GREAT FAITH, THAT FIVE YEARS OR 15 YEARS IN BEIJING, CHINA HAS A LOT TO GAIN. IT HAS NOTHING... |
| 01:05:41 |
|
THE DALAI LAMA AS A SUCCESSFUL OFF THERE IN TERMS OF SALES OF BOOKS. WHAT DOES HE DO WITH ALL THAT... |
| 01:05:55 |
|
YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. EXCEPT FOR HIS COLLABORATION WITH HOWARD CUTLER, HE IS SUCCESSFUL IN THE SENSE... |
| 01:07:18 |
|
HE DOES NOT RAISE MONEY FOR THE TIBETAN CAUSE. |
| 01:07:22 |
|
HE IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT RAISING CONCERN THAN RAISING MONEY. HE TRAVELS FOR TWO REASONS. HE ENJOYS... |
| 01:07:52 |
|
WOULD HE BE LESS EFFECTIVE AS A LEADER? TWITTERING THE WORLD TOO. |
| 01:08:02 |
|
IF HE HAD TIME. |
| 01:08:03 |
|
HE FINDS BEATING WITH POLITICIANS. HE FEELS HE HAS TO DO THEM. NOT TO DO THEM IS IN SOME WAYS COLLECTING... |
| 01:08:25 |
|
ONE MORE QUESTION HERE. |
| 01:08:30 |
|
BE OUTSIDE PRESSURE ON CHINA, THEY GET THE SENSE, HOW THEY WORK THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?... |
| 01:08:43 |
|
I AM CLEARLY IN THE AUDIENCE OF PUBLIC POLICY, BUT VERY GOOD QUESTION. HE SEES CHANGE COMING INCREMENTALLY.... |
| 01:10:29 |
|
FINAL QUESTION OVER HERE. |
| 01:10:36 |
|
BUY AND A LOCAL RESIDENT IN THE AREA. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLY ARTICULATE THOUGHTS.... |
| 01:11:43 |
|
ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE. |
| 01:11:46 |
|
I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE TALKING MUCH MORE THAN I DO. JUST BEFORE COMING HERE I WAS TALKING TO A GENTLEMAN,... |
