The assertion that "China invaded Tibet in 1950" is false. Tibet was and is part of China, as even the Western powers that now pander to the Dalai Lama freely acknowledge (and acknowledged at the time).

The entire article reflects a favourable point of view towards the Dalai Lama and omits important information, such as the fact that he presided over the world's most oppressive feudal serfdom—he still does in India—and owned hundreds of slaves. In addition, he was a stooge of the CIA, a fact that he himself now admits.

Is this really appropriate? : "and among supporters of the Dalai Lama are a number of Hollywood actors, most notably Richard Gere, Steven Seagal, and the Beastie Boys." -- prat

I don't think it's appropriate. It would be more appropriate to mention the approxiamate number of supporters the Dalai Lama has, what areas of the world contain a lot of supporters, or simply something generic like "the Dalai Lama has many supporters throughout the world." --Patik 00:31, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)
