OMG. I need a shower.
Knock me over with a feather, this is so revolting – and right now of all times – I. CAN’T. EVEN.
A video from February has surfaced of the Dalai Lama and a young Indian boy at an event.
If he will do this in public, I can’t imagine what he would do in private. This poor child. I am appalled and disgusted.

Excuse me, Dalai dude. YOUR excuse is ringing as hollow as one of those temple bells…
The Dalai Lama has apologized after a video emerged showing the spiritual leader kissing a child on the lips and then asking him to “suck my tongue” at an event in northern India.
In a statement Monday, the office for the Dalai Lama said he “wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” adding he “regrets” the incident.
“His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” the statement said.
His apology comes after a video of the exchange, which took place during an event in the hillside city of Dharamshala in February, went viral on social media with many users criticizing the Dalai Lama’s actions.
…and I’m going to say right out I’m completely on board with the outrage crowd. There’s no possible “teasing” or “playful” explanation for something this disgusting.
…In response to the incident, prominent Delhi-based child rights group, Haq: Center for Child Rights, told CNN in a statement it condemns “all form of child abuse.”
It added: “Some news refers to Tibetan culture about showing tongue, but this video is certainly not about any cultural expression and even if it is, such cultural expressions are not acceptable.”
Revolting. The description in the article is gag-inducing enough – there’s no need to post the video and I’m glad others feel like I do.
I saw the Dalai Lama video.
It got my blood boiling…especially after having written about the Maryland AG's report about the Catholic Church abusing kids in Baltimore.
I won't share the video…especially because nobody seems to be blurring the face of the kid.
I don't want…

It’s disgusting enough that we have a Chief Executive whose actions around small children have given people the heebie-jeebies for literally years and whose administration is actively supporting the wholesale sexualization of children. While we are all aware of the decades-long, ongoing cleansing of abusers and enablers in the Catholic clergy, the important fact is Catholics want it done and these monsters gone. It wasn’t parishioners who protected them – it was the hierarchy.
Just like now. It’s not citizens protecting the deviants and the radicals – it’s the administration and the elites in education, law enforcement and government agencies trying to shove this down parents’ throats and attempting to isolate their children from their families.

Even to the point of attempting to weaponize houses of worship to spy on Americans.
True to form, in the comments on the CNN tweet at the top, right this second, the apologists are using the “cultural differences” canard and the utterly laughably BUT HE’S A NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE.
Oh. That changes everything. Untouchable.
And every news report is using darn near the same article – there’s not one iota of fresh reporting on it, from CNN to NY Post to NY Times. They shuffle the verbiage a little. No one wants to touch this with a ten-foot pole – especially about this “icon.”
The Babylon Bee went for the gold, though and you know what their batting average for headlines coming true is.
Dalai Lama Inundated With Requests From Public Libraries To Lead Story Hours
ICK ICK ICK
Man.
I wish everything didn’t feel so dirty.
Biden and now this sick joker.
But he is considered to be god
Once you have read about it, you can’t forget about it. If Mr. Lama really gets nervous, he will claim to have had a senior moment “You know, like your president often does!”
Suck my kiss!!!
Jetsun Jamphel was born in 1935 and has played the fraud game since 1940. Reincarnated? Yeah, right. No proof. Memories of past lives? Silly How did the memory neurons get in your brain from previous brains? In other news, the Lord rose from the dead and over 500 eye witness accounts describe the event.
Yes, it is bizarre and weird.
But It was in public, during a speech in front of thousands, while apparantly making some kind of joke. Not some dark deed done in a dark place.
There is some kind of cultural reference there, I believe, but I don’t know what it is.
All in all, given the sum of his life and influence on the world, the fact he is loved by Tibetans and Indians in the hundreds of millions, is hated by the Communist Party of China, and that fact that he has not had a scintilla of scandal around him in his entire life - I will give him a pass on this.
I agree
February’s incident isn’t the first time the octogenarian has sparked controversy in recent years.He apologized after a 2019 interview with the BBC, during which he said if a female Dalai Lama should succeed him, she “should be more attractive.”
The previous year, he suggested Europe should be kept for Europeans, when speaking about the rising level of African refugees entering the continent.
“The whole Europe (will) eventually become Muslim country? Impossible. Or African country? Also impossible,” he said, adding that it’s better to “keep Europe for Europeans.” - CNN
I think I see a pattern here.
He was searched for, and found, at age 5.
The search was conducted by a committee of lamas, with all the requisite visions, signs, etc.
As has been their custom for at least the last 500 years.
That is how they establish legitimacy. If they are cool with it I see no reason to quibble.
The Dalai Lama belongs in jail, waiting conviction and execution.
Did the Daili Llama get the boy on puberty blockers too?
I don’t. Sick!
In a few short years, he’ll be burning in Hell along with Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Malcom Jamal Warner.
That’s correct
I was going to mention that
(Malcolm Jamal Warner)
I guess I missed that one - what’s up there?
Cosby show stuff?
