Revered Dalai Lama Safe In India The Dalai Lama, having fled the terrors of Communist aggression in Tibet, is warmly welcomed to India by thousands of well-wishers upon his safe arrival. The god-king to Buddhist followers has been given sanctuary by Prime Minister Nehru. Dalai Lama (Bstan-'dzin-rgya-mtsho, 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso) amid people, greets a man (some sort of ceremony involving a white cloth -- part of the greeting?). Dalai Lama climbs stairs to rostrum, a man holding a parasol over him. Dalai Lama greets much larger crowd. He drapes a white cloth around a man's neck.
