I have read a lot of books by the Dalai Lama. I might have listened fragments of his speeches now and then. He is a great person with wider and deeper vision. During one hour of his speech - he covered a whole lot. Global economy to Nuclear war fare, pre and post coldwar era. I guess, I understood the true meaning of "Compassion" better.He is the great HUMAN. Some guys/girls might have disgreement with his speech - like mentioning India as origin of Buddism, and some one pointed out his speech as hilarious. But I disagree with these ideas. These criticisms have no weight.
