As for the Dalai Lama or the Pope:
“He no playa da game, he no maka da rules”
There is no Buddhist scripture, it’s all texts and teachings of Buddhist masters — meaning what they teach is what worked for them, mortals, so therefor deserves continuous scrutiny and questioning. This is particularly true of Theravada Buddhism — Which is not the Dali Lama’s Buddhism.
The Dalai Lama’s Buddhism is Vajrayana (also known as Tibetan Buddhism) which purports to be an updated version of Mahayana Buddhism which in turn is descendant from Theravada Buddhism.
The problem I have with Vajrayana is it puts too much importance on the Monks and their reincarnation to future monks.
I like the hybrid cross between Theravada Buddhism and Zen Buddhism (a pre-cursor, and now a subset of Mahayana Buddhism) because it fits well with Christian Buddhists.
Particularly the concepts of Paccekabuddha and Sammasambuddha Buddhists in the Theravada thought line.
