“You don’t know squat about Tibetan Buddhism.”

“When Tenzin Gyatso was about two years old a search party was sent out to find the new incarnation of the Dalai Lama.[3] Among other omens, the head on the embalmed body of the thirteenth Dalai Lama (originally facing south) had mysteriously turned to face the northeast, indicating the direction in which the next Dalai Lama would be found. Shortly afterwards, the Regent Reting Rinpoche had a vision at the sacred lake of Llhamo La-tso indicating Amdo (as the place to search) and a one-story house with distinctive guttering and tiling. After extensive searching, they found that Thondup’s house resembled that in Reting’s vision. They presented Thondup with various relics and toys—some had belonged to the previous Dalai Lama while others had not. It was reported that Thondup correctly identified all items owned by the previous Dalai Lama, exclaiming “That’s mine! That’s mine!””

“As well as being one of the most influential spiritual leaders of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama by tradition is also Tibet’s absolute political ruler. In 1939 at the age of four he was taken by lamas in a procession to Lhasa, where an official ceremony recognized him as the reborn spiritual leader of Tibet. His childhood was spent between the Potala and Norbulingka, his summer residence.”

At least John Smith and Mormons had better visions and live better lives.

Sure they did. At least what you have posted there doesn’t repeat the idiotic western view that the Dalai Lama is considered a god. But you keep repeating your other liberal dogma. It’s a good example of how ingrained the communist mindset has become in Americans.

I hate to say this - but your English is quite poor. Are you really a native speaker or do you just play pretend on FR?

Quit posting the same link again and again. You’re fooling nobody with this propaganda.

BTW, the ChiCom trolls we tussle with on this forum are, usually, of much better quality. Looks like PLAN is being forced to send its second- and third-rate operatives to post on FR.

PGanini won’t be happy.
