Passage-2 Recipient of the Nobel Peace prize in 1989, the Dalai Lama has single handedly turned Tibet into a cause celebre. Through tireless travel last year he has been advocating middle way to resolve the status of Tibet.

Its a goal that has been criticized by his own people. But my approach is in our interest, he told times magazine. Tibet is backward.
