PHILADELPHIA -- Screaming protesters greeted the Dalai Lama on his spiritual visit to Philadelphia.

The mood set by protesters outside the Kimmel Center against the Dalai Lama was a sharp contrast to the mood inside, as arguably one of the world's most recognizable religious leaders, spoke to a sold out crowd of thousands.

The spiritual and political Tibetan Buddhist leader spoke for nearly an hour about Buddhism in the 21st century. For many in the crowd, they said he will lead them to the path of enlightenment.

"Words can't describe," one person said.

Words can

Words can describe...hypocrisy. The Dalai Lama's words do not match his actions. The Dalai Lama is persecuting practitioners of the ancient Buddhist Deity Dorje Shugden in India. Even though he talks about religious freedom and tolerance, he's causing suffering to thousands. Please check out the evidence for yourself: http://www.wisdombuddhadorjeshugden.org
