The words of the Dalai Lama, is not the words of any ordinary citizen, his words carry so much weight especially when it comes from the GOD-King of Tibet.
People will not listen to his words and then do not take any action, they will take action and the subsequent were the attack of Gaden monasteries especially Dokhang Khamtsen Local people and some monks were involved. Then it was the CTA's underhanded methods that goaded nuns, monks and local people to attack.
Fortunately the Indian police were on hand to stop the mob violence. If the Indina police did not arrive on time, who knows that these Tibetans could have done to hurt Dokhan Khamtseng monks and lamas.
