Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama speaks at the 17th Forum 2000 Conference focusing on Societies and transition, on 17 September 2013, in Prague. The annual forum was launched by the late Czech Velvet Revolution icon Vaclav Havel and American Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in 1997.

The Dalai Lama wrapped up Forum 2000 with calls for peace, democracy and dialogue on Syria.

Addressing reporters, His Holiness said it was time for a younger generation to stop fighting the wars of the past and move into the future. The response came when asked about the conflict in Syria and a potential military response from the United States and others.

The Dalai Lama referenced the first Gulf War, mentioning moderation and the second Iraq invasion, which focused on force. He said force only made things more complicated. “There is too much emphasis on ‘we and them’ in this century and this kind of thing should not repeat,” he said.

“Syria is full of hate,” he added. “The only [solution] is dialogue. It is the only way.”

Brushing aside the fact that Czech political leaders refuse to see him, he made clear that he was not a political leader and politicians were not important. The Dalai Lama had been a close friend to former Czech President Václav Havel, and met with Havel a few days before his death in 2011.

Current Czech President Miloš Zeman said during the recent elections that he was not interested in a meeting with the Dalai Lama as he was a religious and not a political or business leader, but he has the “holy right” to arrive in the Czech Republic. Some Czech politicians have said close relations with the Dalai Lama may harm Czech economic ties with China.

Wading into politics, however, the Dalai Lama said democracy is the only way because the world belongs to humanity. “The Czech Republic belongs to the Czech people, not political parties,” he said. “Tibet belongs to Tibetans, not the Dalai Lama.”

As for China, he said time would tell if relations improved with Tibet. He said President Xi Jinping had shown courage facing corruption and there was new leadership in China-Tibet relations.

“In 2011 I completely retired from political leadership,” he said. “I am just an old Tibetan they don’t like,” he said.
