From AFP:
The Dalai Lama, starting his first foreign trip since unrest broke out in Tibet, on Thursday renewed support for the Beijing Olympics and appealed to China not to brand him as a demon.
Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader also said he personally urged the Tibetan community to respect the Olympic torch relay in San Francisco, where a major security presence prevented some of the chaos seen in London and Paris.
The Dalai Lama, meeting reporters on a brief stopover in Japan on his way to the United States, jokingly put his fingers over his head in the shape of a devil.
