Reddit mentions of Dalai Lama, My Son: A Mother's Autobiography

You mean tolerant as the people and not as their government. I don't know of many Chinese policies that strike me as very tolerant. The people on the other hand, I trade postcards with people from around the world. Obviously theres already a bias since you probably wouldn't trade postcards unless you were curious about other cultures. But they've always struck me as so eager to learn about other people and very happy to learn about other cultures or ways of life. I love that because I feel very similarly so despite our distance and our differences, it's nice to feel in common.

There comes a point where you have to realize that you just don't know what to believe anymore. Much less who to believe. I think that China has a history of being a bit of a bully (I formed that opinion by reading the autobiography from the Dalai Lama's Mama. Hardly a good sampling and very biased, so I keep that opinion in check), but I hesitate to believe the reputation that I am being spoonfed. I try to remember how we find it so crazy that North Koreans would blindly accept their brainwashing so I try to remain critical of any sponges I might see.

They visit on occasion. The current Dalai Lama was very attached to his mother; he's written often about how he learned compassion from her.

She also wrote an autobiography, if you would like to hear the story from her perspective.
