Conference for Fear of Upsetting Beijing Dalai Lama Not Welcome at U.N. Conference for Fear of Upsetting Beijing "How Many Divisions Does the Pope Have? Aug. 25, 200 NEW YORK, Aug. 24 - The United Nations responded to the "sensitivities'' of China by excluding the Dalai Lama from a world conference of religious leaders, the U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Thursday (Aug. 24), according to an Associated Press report. "Let me say that I understand that many people are understandably and deeply disappointed that the Dalai Lama will not be here for the religious summit next week,'' he said. "But let me also say that this house is really a house for the member states and their sensitivities matter.'' The Dalai Lama, the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists. He fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed revolt against Chinese rule of the mountain region. More than 1,000 religious leaders have been invited to the Millennium World Peace Summit from Aug. 28-31, which will be held in the U.N. General Assembly chamber for the first two days although the United Nations is not an official sponsor. The U.N. spokesman confirmed last month that the Dalai Lama was left off the invitation list for fear that his presence would draw a strong protest from China. --- TiM Ed.: The U.N. "reds" attitude toward the Dalai Lama was reminiscent of a scornful comment Stalin once made about the Pope. "And how many divisions does he have?"
