Interview with His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet
I, along with 50 or 60 other members of various electronic and newsprint media, interviewed the Dalai Lama at Findley College, Ohio in April of 1991. For me it was an extremely emotional experience. I now know what it is to be in the presence of a truly great person who has achieved greatness, not through power, but through a Devine Connection. When the Dalai Lama was introduced to the S.R.O. audience of about 4000 the reaction was total reverent silence and then fevered applause while all 4000 rose to their feet as if they were one human being. Babies and children were held up to be blessed and I envied them.
The Dalai Lama was born in 1935 and installed as the Dalai Lama in 1940. He fled the Chinese Takeover of Tibet in 1959 and set up his government in exile in Dharmsala, India. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. This interview is shorter than most due to language difficulties.
Tibet has been facing (and is still facing) a holocaust that much of the world seems to ignore. Thousands of temples and shrines have been destroyed, tens of thousands killed, and millions of irreplaceable trees chopped down.
