This week, the Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal from President Bush for his 50 years of work leading the struggle for autonomy and religious freedom in Tibet. Although the Dalai Lama has a good command of English, he sometimes prefers to use his native tongue. When he does, Thupten Jinpa is there to interpret. Jinpa tells us what it's like to speak for the man some consider the living embodiment of Buddha.
