(CNN)—Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain is set to meet with the Dalai Lama Friday in Colorado.
The Tibetan political and spiritual leader will be a keynote speaker at a three-day seminar at the Aspen Institute as part of a greater celebration of Tibetan Culture where he will also meet with McCain. McCain is expected to speak at the American GI Convention in Denver Friday morning, and will make the trip to Aspen to meet with the Dalai Lama later in the afternoon.
Often referred to as “His Holiness,” the Dalai Lama has lived in exile in Dharamsala, India since the Chinese occupied Tibet in 1959.
In April, McCain urged China to engage the spiritual leader in discussions on the future of Tibet.
"Our relationship with China is important,” the Arizona senator said in a statement. “But the Chinese government needs to understand that in our modern world, how a nation treats its citizens is a legitimate subject of international concern... I urge the government of the People's Republic of China to address the root causes of unrest in Tibet by opening a genuine dialogue with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, aimed at granting greater autonomy.”

China's not going to like that...
I hope McCain gets the solace he has been searching for.
THE DALAI LAMA KNOWS WHO SHOULD BE AMERICA'S PRESIDENT. IF NOT HILLARY CLINTON THEN HE WILL SETTLE FOR JOHN McCAIN, BUT HE SAYS NO TO GANGSTERS, ANTI-CHRISTIANS, AND LIARS LIKE OBAMA.
Can't wait to read all the Sen. Obama supporters trashing His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Sen. McCain.
The Let McCain have his day at disney World..
What a man if faith and dignity!!
Obama 2008 + 2012
Wow, I am impressed. I have to admit that at times McCain has his moments. But, talk is cheep – like as if the US will ever stand up to China, especially now, after going in debt to China over the past 7 years to fight the war in Iraq.
Oh please, still trying to steal Barack's thunder. It won't work. McCain probably supported Bush going to the Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Obama and the Dalai Lama will sit down and talk when Barack becomes president.

Cool two super old guys talking 🙂

But if Sen.Obama was meeting with His Holiness and said these things you would post about how great he is and how China needs to get their act together.
Quit forming your opinions based on party.

Can't wait to read all the Obama supporters trash the Dalai Lama and McCain.
McBush doesn't care about Tibet or the Dalai Lama but of course when it is politically in his best interest, he shows he cares! Don't be fooled by McBush Jr.
This should be interesting. They're both equally qualified to be our next president.
The fundies aren't gonna be too happy with that.
LMAO that's the best he can do! Good luck gramps!
.....exciting.......lol
THE DALAI LAMA LOL
YEAH , BECAUSE THE ONLY CROWDS MCCIDIOT WILL GET WILL BE AT GUN POINT!!!!
What a fraud (McSame) i.e.....
McBush the warpig meeting with the Dalai Lama?
Hope it goes well for McCain because he has had one the crappiest weeks of his campaign, I'm sure, but he asked for it. He also wants to keep the war in Iraq going, aren't we borrowing the money from China? He doesn't want to PO the money source
poor dalai lama, talking with this hypocritical war-loving sellout will be a REAL challenge to his budhist beliefs.
world peace and prosperity is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE with a third-generation military man. he was born and raised military, ALL HE SEES is military action as a solution to the world's problems!
people, dont fall for the right-wing pessimistic junk, there is NOTHING wrong with being positive and HOPEful!
Dalai Lama is a separatist and a theocrat.
Perhaps the Dalai Lama can help with McCain's temper.
"After the unpopularity of George W. Bush, the world is waiting to love America again, and many see in Obama, with his youth and his optimism, somebody who can bring that about."
