Chinese political advisors: Dalai Lama not harmony promoter but trouble maker

"The Dalai Lama has breached the doctrines of his religion by employing religion as a tool to conduct sabotage and serve his political purpose," Liu said.

Chubakang Tubdain Kaizhub, a Living Buddha, chairman of the Tibet Branch of the Buddhist Association of China and a political advisor, said the Dalai Lama should "stop doing things that harm the interests of people in Tibet."

"We hope he no longer uses religion and believers as a tool to pursue his political intention," the Living Buddha said.

China, a country with five major religions including Catholics, Protestant, Buddhism, Islam and Taoism, has more than 100 million believers of various religions.

In Tibet alone, there are more than 1,700 religious sites for Tibetan Buddhism that accommodate 460,000 monks and nuns, four mosques with 3,000 Muslims, as well as a Catholic church for 700 believers.
