While accepting a human rights award, the Dalai Lama chastised the U.S. for not doing much to address the gap between the rich and the poor.

He said the "real greatness of America is your ancestors' principles", while urging the U.S. to preserve those.

Obama plans to visit the Dalai Lama on a trip to China next month.
