Chairman Mao Tse-tung
has sent for you.

1:34:23
Dalai Lama.
Thank you for coming so late.

1:34:27
I leave tomorrow.
1:34:29
Yes, I know.
1:34:38
How has your stay been?
1:34:41
Very interesting.
Your factories are very impressive.

1:34:44
- And I enjoyed the agri--
- You have a lot to learn.

1:34:49
How to draw out people's opinions
and make decisions.

1:34:54
Instruct your young Tibetans,
1:34:57
when I make contact with you,
1:34:59

a Tibetan, not a Chinese.

1:35:02
Very good. I agree

1:35:12

1:35:29
Poison.

1:35:34
Like a drug,
it retards the mind...

1:35:37
of people and society.
1:35:40
"The opiate of the people."
1:35:44
Tibet has been poisoned
by religion,

1:35:47
and your people
are poisoned and inferior.

1:35:58
Let me walk you
to your car.
