NEW DELHI: Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, on his 74th birthday celebration here said he is
promoting secular values and different philosophy of humanities as preached by Mahatma Gandhi when travelling to different countries rather
than propogating Buddhism.
Dalai Lama also echoed the secular thoughts of Gandhi, saying secularism doesn't mean rejection of
religion but it means respect for religion and even respect for non-believers.
"When I visited different countries in these years, I have not promoted or propagated Buddhism as said
by many, but harmony, humanity and spirituality," he said on the occasion, which also marks the 50
years of his Holiness in India.
