This sounds like Catholic teaching on homosexuality, but of course it comes from the Liberal Icon Dalai Lama rather than that mean old Pope, so the Dalai will get a pass ...

His pal Richard Gere isn't going to be very happy to hear this.

I used to have a lot of respect for this guy, but, after seeing him on stage with Dennis Kucinich(spit, hack!), I'm starting to have some doubts. And:" Using the other two holes is wrong."?? That's none of his business. Dalai Lama Lama Ding Dong

We have a totally selfish and shallow society (generalizing here of course) that is constantly shocked to learn that the leaders of the World's religions do not just come out and say "if it feels good, do it."
These are men of great spiritual learning and commitment, they are trying to attain a higher level for humanity than living like animals or worse. Let's face it, that higher standard isn't always convenient for most of us. But it ought to be obvious that acting out our basest fantasies is not a road to enlightenment.
I don't expect to find the Dalai Lhama at a go go bar, and I don't expect him to tell me it would be just peachy if I go there, either.

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

I put credence in the theory that if you can preoccupy a civilization in sexual pursuits (beyond the norm, especially), it will be much easier to destroy.

"Gay couple" Now that's a propaganda meme if I ever saw one.
Just call them two homosexuals.

Very interesting views from the Dalai Lama. I wonder if the people who flock to see him ar eaware of these views.

Maybe not. He may have just lost his cachet with the Hollyweirdo and limo liberal crowd.

This is likely going to surprise a lot of folks who THINK they are following Buddhist principles.

Okay, but seriously, earlier one said he was a liberal icon and friend of Gere; I suppose that is so, I read his autobiography; I don't know about all Buddhists but I thought he was too "NonGod believing" for me (and everyone loves him,--- okay not everyone); I don't know if this pertains to all of those branches of Buddhism. I've read some; seems there are branches and some might imho.
To: Unam Sanctam
I'd urge all to check out the link, all the talk on China and the Chinese are some of the people who really love the Dalai Lama (I mean the ones who are not the government;), if you are at a Chinese Buddhist Temple and have some post cards of the Dalai Lama and there is a lot of other info around, the Chinese will go for those postcards.
Everyone talked of this article, self absorbed and homosexual/gay themes; but I read this:
"Tsering Wangmo is shaking uncontrollably as tears pour down her cheeks. Still sobbing, she pulls up her top and slowly turns around to show me a fretwork of scars. They criss-cross her body from shoulders to waist.
"My crime," she explains when she is calmer, "was to be found by the police with a picture of the Dalai Lama. I was dragged through the streets of Lhasa by my hair, beaten with electric prongs, then thrown into jail for three years."
Self-absorbed westerners? Yes, this is kind of the matter with "The greatest generation" type of deal from World War II; those people, well, they had things in a proper prospective and were not self-absorbed.
The article you linked continues:
"Her waterlogged, open-air prison in Tibet was shared with around 1,000 other women. "We were tortured, raped, hung upside down for hours," she says. "Many died." On her release, she discovered that her husband had been forced to marry a Chinese woman, so she took her children and fled barefoot across the Himalayas to find solace with the Dalai Lama. "
This article is about everything; and though, I joined in the fun to; with the pic I posted earlier; this is serious.
Lately, he didn't attend a Buddhist convention in China; I think it was just up for show. What a pity, that Tibet truly, hardly exists.
But they do have a soccer team;

Actually, this sounds EXACTLY like Catholic teaching. His reasoning goes to the original logical and theological underpinnings of this within the Catholic Church as well.
I completely agree with his outlook on our society as well; WE ARE too self absorbed, and many of these "rights" movements within our society are a sorry sign of it.
