March 5th's episode of Last Week Tonight saw host John Oliver focus on one of the world's most colorful characters...no, not this guy.
John Oliver instead dedicated the Main Story of his program to The Dalai Lama: spiritual leader of countless Tibetan Buddhists, speaker of immense quotability, and, turns out, a very sassy monk.
From telling John the story of how one of his previous incarnations weaned the Mongols off of vodka using horse milk...
...to how the Chinese government has portrayed him as a literal demon in their drive to maintain control of Tibet...
...the interview showed us many sides of The Dalai Lama. But through it all, his message was the same:
"I practice, you see, taking others' anger, suspicion, distrust, and give them patience, tolerance, and compassion."
-His Holiness The Dalai Lama
And there was much rejoicing.
