Something small but with a meaning of appreciation. Any ideas?

A plant in a pretty pot. Flowers are nice, but not cut stems- they have been "killed". For the Buddhists I've known (one now a Zen monk), small trinkets of even the smallest monetary value often are the most treasured. A pine cone from a camping trip. A vial of water from the lake in your favorite park. A copy of your favorite novel. They remember the time and emotion put into a gift's selection, and are anything but worldly. Even a lovely bookmark engraved with a line of your favorite poem would be a worthy gift.
Blessings!

Don't make him a gift. Buy him a pair of Ray-Bans just like the ones the Dali Lama wear.

What about an Andean Llama? International dialogue is always a good thing. And the Llama might helpfully spit in a Chinese official's face... that always goes down well with Tibetans.
What on earth was whynotaskdon's answer about btw? That went completely over (or under) my head...

Salt Water Taffy, He'll be mystified! Better bring enough for everyone, they'll all want some.

Hmmm. A ten carat emerald-cut perfect diamond might do.
