Do you have some issues or what?

I would argue that the Dalai Lama has serious anger issues. I don't pretend to be a religious leader and to speak for millions of people, and I sure as heck don't go off shooting at hawks because I'm pissed at something. You may see his behavior as normal, or excuse it because he's human. That's your choice. I have higher standards for religious leaders. Just like I didn't by into the "everybody does it" excuse for Clinton's sexcapades in the WH, I don't cut ANY religious leaders any kind of slack. I have found more people touched by grace living their day-to-day lives than religious leaders telling them what to do.

Is there any religious leader who measures up to your pure standards of conduct? I think the other poster is right. You've got some issues. The Dalai Lama seems to me to be far better adjusted than you.

The Dalai Lama does not tell anyone what to do.
