Dalai Lama Recieves Highest Civilian Award


The Dalai Lama was greeted by President Bush Tuesday as he arrived at the White House. The religious leader of Tibetan Buddhists will be receiving the highest civilian award in a Rotunda ceremony later today. It has been said that China is upset at this meeting but the Dalai Lama seems very optimistic saying "This always happens." He also went on to say that he would like to have "real autonomy for Tibet." According to foxnews.com "He has lived with followers in exile in India since fleeing Chinese soldiers in Tibet in 1959."
