Towards the end the author points out how ignorant the Dalai Lama really is. Can anyone take him seriously as a spiritual leader?

“Hello. I’m the Dalai Lama, and I believe in a dead theory of government.”

“Now, as to your spiritual problems....”

Well, feed me corn and watch me grow! The Lama may be a big hitter, but he’s a commie pinko.

I guess he’s planning on reincarnating as a ant next time.

Now he’s a Marxist? So much for Buddhism, the opiate of the people.

He’s always been a two bit hustler with a good agent.

I agree that the Dali Lama is ignorant. However, given the attributes a Dali Lama is supposed to possess (wisdom, spiritual advancement, etc.), this one is a fraud as well.

Well then...glad that he had to walk out the ‘back’ door through the trash after his visit to the WH. Anyone have that photo?

So the venerated religious leader follows the creed of the man who said “The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.”

Okie-dokie. I do believe the Lama has gone senile.

The Dalai Lama, as with many Buddhist teachers, will use opposite statements to shock people to reconsider their habitual thinking. Perhaps that is what he was doing here - I don’t know.

In 2009 he told a group of leftists/pacifists meeting in Philadelphia “I love President Bush” which obviously shocked them quite a bit.

Nonetheless, I am still puzzled.

I spent a week with him a few years ago and was really disappointed. He is not a spiritual leader, but a political one. He was one of the most boring speakers I have ever heard as most of the time he just sat there and read.

Bad move. His lack of worldly acumen will cause many to call into question his spiritual chops.

A true schmuck. If he was truly living under Marxism he would be in prison or dead not flying around the world on Richard gear's money.

That explains all the mysterious “Free Tibet” stickers on Volvos.

There is a difference between Marxism and Leninism. Marxism is the gaining of political power by the proletariat via political agitation, a la Obama. Leninism is the gaining of political power by the proletariat via political murder, up to and including, genocide, a la Lenin, Mao, Kim Il-Sung and Pol Pot. Marxism is compatible with democracy. Leninism is just another form of absolute monarchy. In the case of North Korea, Leninism has progressed to hereditary absolute monarchy.

What’s the big deal? Marxism only killed >100 million people. Why not give it another chance?
