Tibetans have power of truth, China has power of guns, says Dalai Lama

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Wednesday said that Tibetans had the power of truth while the Chinese government had the power of guns, ANI reported.

“We have the power of truth. Chinese communists have the power of gun,” he said. “In the long run, power of truth is much stronger than power of gun.” The spiritual leader, who is in Bihar’s Gaya city for the next two weeks, said that Tibetan culture and customs should be preserved.

One of the highest number of Buddhists in the world are in China, the spiritual leader said, adding that this population was slowly beginning to realise that the “kind of Buddhism we [Tibetans] practice is true”, according to Hindustan Times.
