Dalai Lama says that the political situation is not stable in China, but that interest in Buddhism is increasing.
I experience that it would be difficult to teach about Buddhism in a country where there is no freedom, he says.
He urges communities in the Indian Himalayas to maintain the Buddhist tradition with academic debate and education and says that those who have fled to India have a special responsibility.
In Tibet, many have been treated harshly by China, so here in Indian freedom we must do everything we can to preserve these valuable traditions, he says.
The newly turned 90-year-old also thanks India for its support since he went into exile in 1959 and says that he has received many invitations to China, but that he has rejected them.
