Indians must show the world that people of different religions can live together peacefully,&#8221; he said at a function organized by Sri Sathya Sai International Centre and School for Study and Research in Human Values in New Delhi. The Dalai Lama said, &#8220;Pluralism in religion is a reality and we must accept it. Some politicians may follow a different view, but that is because of their ignorance.&#8221; He said the attitude of Chinese people towards Tibet was changing. &#8220;Religious belief of Tibetan Buddhism has been increasing among Chinese. Many Chinese, who visit Tibet, are showing interest in Tibetan culture and religion,&#8221; he added. Rajya Sabha member Dr. Karan Singh, who was present at the function, described the spiritual leader as a &#8220;great human being&#8221; and said, &#8220;it is because of his continuous efforts that Tibetan diaspora across the globe has been brought under a close knit network.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\n<\/P> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SourceNEW DELHI, INDIA, January 3, 2004: Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said people of India should maintain the country&#8217;s,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
