Richard Gere earlier too met Dalai Lama

Earlier this month, actor Richard Gere joined in the 90th birthday celebrations of the 14th Dalai Lama in Dharamshala. Richard had praised the Dalai Lama for his teachings and wisdom while addressing the attendees at the Tibetan spiritual leader's birthday celebration.

"We have never seen a human being like him who completely embodies selflessness, love, compassion and wisdom. When I grew up as a Christian, we understood compassion from our teacher, Jesus Christ. But I don't think we understood this combination of compassion and wisdom until we met his holiness the Dalai Lama," he had said.
