Could the Dalai Lama come back to us as a woman?

Could the Dalai Lama reincarnate as a woman?

“Yes,” he tells NDTV in a new interview. “You know, among humanity, in very, very ancient times, male and female were equal. Everybody is equal. No concept of leader. Now, the time has come [where] we must make every effort for the promotion of human compassion and human affection. In that respect female, biologically, more sort of sensitivity toward other’s pain.”

He also discussed China, his hope for Tibet’s next leader — that said leader will would be modern educated and democratically elected — and more. Video of the interview, which also features a short interview with Richard Gere, well-known for his activism for Tibet is now online. Click here to watch.
