Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan BuddhismChina to meet Dalai Lama aides amid Tibet tension

Fri Apr 25, 2008

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese officials will meet representatives of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism whom China blames for a wave of unrest, Xinhua news agency reported on Friday, citing official sources.

The move marks a change in tactics on the part of Beijing, which has stepped up its vilification of the Dalai Lama since anti-government protests hit Tibet and rippled across ethnic Tibetan parts of China in the past weeks.

As Tibetans rose up in recent weeks against China’s harsh rule over the Himalayan region and China sent forces to quell the protests, Tibet’s government-in exile-sent its envoys to far-flung capitals with appeals for help.
