The Dalai Lama Tweeted about the environment today.

If we are truly concerned about the environment, we must think not only for this generation, but for future generations as well.

3. I noticed a few days ago that he was in the Twitterverse. It was a no-brainer for me to add him.

I've seen him speak several times. Never disappoints.

The Dalai Lama has more than one twitter account and AFAIK, none of them are really his, but just quotes of his.

Events, photo galleries, articles and quotes are Tweeted. Now, much of this may be set up by staff members (some is twitterfed through his website), but the quotes are his. Often relevant to what is going on and he has done other things through Twitter:

Additionally, it's linked to on his web page:

The Dalai Lama Officially Joins Twitter

This Dalai Lama is verified by Twitter, though — it is the real deal. Currently, the account is pulling albums and blog posts from his website and tweeting them via twitterfeed, though we bet you’ll see real engagement later on. He also only has about 600 followers, but as the media picks up on his new-found Twitter presence, that will grow as well.
