None of us are born bias-free. Including the Dalai Lama. Admitting to his own brand of bias and prejudice when he was younger—prejudice against other religious traditions—he went on to identify the factors that had enabled him to eliminate that bias. His comments about how he overcame his own prejudices, uttered with such simplicity and so casually, would be easy to dismiss as little more than a few brief generalities, even commonplace or trite.
