The article is insipid. Tibetan Buddhism is a rigorous faith. The logic is similar to scholasticism. This writer is giving the reader a bubble gum wrapper view of the faith. He is the shallow one, not those who point out how mindless this article is.

RE # 31:

Maybe. But the author isn't making grand statements about Buddhism, he's writing about specific sayings of Dalai Lama and the reactions to these sayings in the West. Chauncey Gardiner in Jerzy Kosinski's Being There (played by Peter Sellers in the movie of the same name) comes again to mind. Idiot savant as guru!
