Token of appreciation

A priest at Nagano's Zenkoji temple displays a gift from the Dalai Lama--presented by the Tibetan spiritual leader at a Nov. 6 meeting in Tokyo--to acknowledge the temple's support prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Zenkoji in April withdrew from its planned role as starting point for the Japan leg of the Olympic torch relay, citing China's crackdown on Tibetan protesters. The Dalai Lama said he appreciated the action, because it placed Buddhist principles above other factors, according to a temple official.(IHT/Asahi: November 26,2008)
