The Dalai Lama, whose more significant role is that of the movement´s spiritual leader, said he would seek an amendment allowing him to resign his political responsibilities at the next session of the exiled Tibetan parliament in March.[break]
"My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility," he said in an address in Dharamshala, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile in northern India.
"It is to benefit Tibetans in the long run. It is not because I feel disheartened," he added.
