There is no better way to proclaim your lack of spiritual and philosophical depth than by, two decades after the fall of communism, disclosing that you're a Marxist. Yet this is precisely what Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama did during a speech before 150 Chinese students at the University of Minnesota this month. Journalist Tsering Namgyal reports on the story at Religion Dispatches, writing, "'as far as socio-political beliefs are concerned, I consider myself a Marxist.' 'But not a Leninist,' he [the Lama] clarified."
Well, that's a relief. Those Leninists can really kill ya'. Marxists will just murder you.
This isn't the first time the Lama indicated that his soul is as red as the robes he wears. During a lecture in NYC on May 19, the Tibetan leader credited "capitalism" with bringing new freedoms to China but then said, "Still I am a Marxist"; he then explained that Marxism has "moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits." That's some deep thinking right there.

“I spent a week with him a few years ago and was really disappointed.
Are you prepared to elaborate?”
I research and study religious/spiritual/mystical teachers/leaders of all denominations in order to understand why they teach what they do. My specialty is religious mind control techniques and the dynamics of the interpersonal communications within the organizations.
I’ve read some of his books, watched videos on him and desired to learn more first hand. The Chinese government is paying to have protesters appear at all his presentations against him. It was interesting observing the whole process.
The blind leading the blind hypocrites.
Not a very elaborate elaboration, I’m afraid.
Well we now know hes a pedophile as well with last weeks incident.
