China Protests Against Dalai Lama Representative's Speech at Religion Summit

Chinese religious leaders participating in the Millennium World Peace Summit withdrew angrily a meeting at the U.N. assembly hall Tuesday night, strongly condemning a so-called representative of the Dalai Lama reading a letter of the Dalai Lama to the religion summit.

Among the Chinese religious leaders leaving the assembly hall included Jamyang Losang Jigme Tubdain Qoigyi Nyima, a well-known living Buddha of the Tibetan Buddhism.

"It is unwise for the Dalai Lama to dispatch a representative to read his letter to the Millennium World Peace Summit, though he is clever not to attend the summit," said Sheng Hui, a Buddhist master and deputy director of the Chinese Association of Buddhism, after withdrawing the meeting.

"His action interferes the normal process of the summit and does not harmonize the general atmosphere of the meeting," he added.

The Dalai Lama has made use of religious activities to split China since he fled China in 1959, the year the Chinese government ended slavery in Tibet.

Rev. Ms Cao Shengjie, another member of the Chinese Religious Leaders Delegation to the summit, said, "the Dalai Lama is a separatist and turmoil-maker. His separatist activities deeply hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. So he is not qualified to attend the summit."
