Dalai Lama Tours Ireland: Photos Of China’s Kindly Public Enemy No. 1

by | 13th, April 2011

THE Dalai Lama – No.2 to Nelson Mandela on the list of people celebrities like to meet – has been at the Citywest Hotel Dublin. This is his first trip to Ireland in 20 years. He walked with his close friend Richard Moore, who was blinded by a rubber bullet in Northern Ireland as a child.

The Dalai Lama is in exile from his native Tibet because the Chinese – with whom the UK does business and sucks up to – don’t like him and think liberty and individual freedoms of expression are not the done thing.
