Dalai Lama should focus on Buddhism

With his New Year message on Wednesday, the Dalai Lama once again proved his hostility toward his fellow Tibetans and his motherland.

As a long self-claimed Buddhist, the Dalai Lama should have focused on spreading Buddhist tenets and culture instead of showing an extreme interest in politics in an attempt to intervene in the country's political process under religious guise.

A few years ago, the Dalai Lama stopped playing any official role in the so-called Tibetan government in exile. That should have offered him a chance to be committed to Buddhism and make contributions for its development. Unfortunately, the Dalai Lama has chosen otherwise.
