Embracing the age of social networking, the Dalai Lama is now on Twitter. Tweeting links to his official website where webcasts show him talking about the life story of Buddha, or about his recent appearance on the Larry King show in Los Angeles, or sending condolences for the people of Chile - these are a few of the posts from the revered spiritual leader.
“He has an inordinate amount of followers. It is testimony to the remarkable outreach he has,” says Patricia Carrick, chief executive of the Tibet Relief Fund. “Whether people are Buddhist or not, they respect his spirituality and humanity. He often does talks on universal responsibility, when he says everyone is responsible for making the world a better place. This is part of living that out.”
It was shortly after his recent meeting with President Obama at the White house the Dalai Lama began to tweet.
