After receiving the National Civil Rights Museum’s “International Freedom Award,†His Holiness the Dalai Lama said to the audience:
“I call myself a feminist,†… “Isn’t that what you call someone who fights for women’s rights?â€
“Whether you believe this religion or that religion, we are all the same human beings,†…“We all come from the same mother. That creates the basis for compassion.â€
