They enjoy teasing each other and both have great respect for each other. During the meeting Tutu commented a number of times on the fact that the Dalai Lama was very popular and could fill huge stadiums. He attributed this to the fact that the Dalai Lama's calm and kindness in the face of ongoing Chinese oppression filled people with admiration the world over. The Dalai Lama, for his part, praised Tutu's humor and said in a solemn moment that when he was about to die, Tutu would be in his thoughts.
