The Dalai Lama smiles as he prepares to deliver his annual address from exile in India, marking the 51st anniversary of a failed Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule in Dharamsla, India, Wednesday, March 10, 2010. The Dalai Lama said Wednesday that Chinese authorities had rebuffed all his efforts to reach a compromise over Tibet and had instead engaged in systematic repression as part of a plan to “annihilate Buddhism” there.
