I do not see anything about his life which suggests anything other than that HHDL considers himself foremost a simple Buddhist monk. What happens in the West is about the media and the response to his visits to Western countries - it is not about what his intention is - it is not a bad thing IMO.

Where he lived in Tibet was commensurate to his position in that country - as you identify the role of Dalai Lama involves many facets.
