I just looked him up, he is the 14th Dalai Lama and was still alive at the time of the wiki entry.
I found the quote interesting because Jesus and His apostles taught much the same using different words.

I thought the name was familiar, I like the philosophy of Buddhism, its all about compassion for others as well as yourself, and that's what Jesus taught,
I like to think sages come to us throughout history to show us there's a different way.

I admire Buddhists but I am a fanatical bible student and hardcore believer (even if or particularly because) I will correct any pastor who strays from the bible to add something or who takes away from the bible. I only preach at misled Christians and when I offer advice to non-believers I try to phrase it like your quote above. That way if they ask me where I got my insight they have invited me to preach and if not, they still have good advice.
