The Dalai Lama’s curious position has complicated India’s diplomatic dance with China. He is simultaneously the most visible spiritual leader of a worldwide community of believers, a role that India honors, and a political leader, a role that India permits but rejects in its own dealings with him.
达赖喇嘛好奇的立场将印度与中国之间的外交关系复杂化了。他是全世界信仰者社区最为瞩目的精神领袖，印度尊重这一作用。同时，他还是一个政治领导人，印度允许这一角色但是在与他打交道的时候拒绝接受这一角色。
