"In remarks that have astonished his followers round the world, the 80-year-old Buddhist has said that while he would be happy for a female to take over his role, a plain or ugly candidate would not be suitable.

"That female must be attractive, otherwise it is not much use," he told a startled BBC interviewer."

See the power of Trump! Now even the Dalai has become anti-PC.

But don’t expect change from your fifty, round eyes.
Change comes from within.

He does not think, or speak, in terms of leftist, western political correctness. His comments may even be calculated to shock some people. Would you prefer he filter everything through spokesmen in New York?

“Still I am a Marxist,” the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader said in New York, where he arrived with an entourage of robed monks and a heavy security detail to give a series of paid public lectures.
Marxism has “moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits,” the Dalai Lama, 74, said.

You will fully miss the point if you try to understand that guy through a conservative vs liberal lens.
He has his own points and he seems to genuinely care about people. It shows again and again.
But he will throw in a twist here and there by saying self defense with a gun is reasonable.

Drop the blinders and take an honest look at that guy, he’d be a fine neighbor. The ultimate test.
