He met with Michael Palin (BBC)... what's not to like?

So pretty much China controls the world’s international policy.
(Surprised there hasn't been a Bill Murray post yet)
America really, really, really needs to stop sending our own businesses to China.
America needs to stand up finally, convincingly for America.
Someone stand up.
Please.
Preferably, Republicans.
He was a man of faith using spiritual courage to resist the forces of Communist oppression.
Liberals hate people like that.
The only people who ever welcomed him were conservatives and men of principle.
There are very few of those left.
I remember he visited with Mao Zedong in 1959 or the early 1960’s. Mao was nice to him the whole time, but at the end, he looked at the Dalai Lama and said, “religion is poison.”
Bingo!
I always thought he was a globalist con-man.
pain is inevitable,suffering is optional we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements; more experts,but more problems ; more medicines but less health.

Please.
Yes!
Step 1 : Say Bring Back Jobs Now!

From Wikipedia:
Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni, or simply the Buddha, was a sage on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. Born in the Shakya republic in the Himalayan foothills, he is believed to have lived and taught mostly in eastern India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE --B.C.
The word Buddha means "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." "Buddha" is also used as a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (Pali sammāsambuddha, Sanskrit samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age.
===================================
How VERY far away that is from the Christ.
Careful, you are beginning to sound like you actually want American jobs back.
I’m sure you’re joking, but still.
It sounds like it.
I've said so, many times.
I've also said, many times, the steps we could take to bring jobs back.
Unlike concern trolls who never say what steps we should take to bring jobs back.

It's probably more likely that Spiderman will come and save us.
No one wrote down the Buddha's sayings until EONS after he passed away. As a result, if something was GOOD to say, it was from the Old Indian Sidhartha Buddha Gautama.
The current Dalai Lama is, without doubt, a good man. But Indians today are NOT Buddhists. They are Hindus, Muslims or, in the very south of India, Catholics.
People may LAYER in the Buddhist concepts of ethical living but it's not a faith so one may "layer it in" as one sees fit.
The Tibetans are vassals of China, er, excuse me, they are part of the People's Republic of China, though they are NOT Chinese.
From Wikipedia: While estimates vary between 200-500 million adherents, the generally agreed number of Buddhists is estimated at around 350 million (6% of the world's population).
Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.
