Lord Buddha would have helped Rohingya Muslims: Dalai Lama

Almost 300,000 of Myanmar’s 1.1 million Rohingya population have crossed the border after alleged attack by Rohingya militants

In wake of violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state in which the Rohingya Muslims have been targetted, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Sunday said that Lord Buddha “would have definitely helped” the Rohingyas” and he felt “very sad” about the violence.
