The Dalai Lama seems to me to be far better adjusted than you.

Well, if to be "better adjusted" is to shoot at birds, then I'm glad I'm the way I am. I don't shoot at birds, but then again, I'm not a religious leader, nor do I have plans to be one.

And I have met many, many people touched by grace who are not religious leaders and I have met many who are. The religious leaders that I've met who truly love and live their faith, have an aura about them that is both a mixture of strength and calm. Not one of these people would express their anger this way. Within them, there is too much respect for life.

From the article: "I feed birds, peaceful birds. I'm non-violent, but if a hawk comes when I'm feeding birds, I lose my temper and get my air rifle." He did not shoot to kill, "only to scare the hawks".

You should read the article before filling up the thread with untruths and misquotes.

I think it needs to be clarified to you ONE more time. The article says he does NOT shoot to kill. He shoots just to SCARE them off. BIG difference. Are you a member of PETA?

My uncle is a personal friend of the Dalai Lama, and I don't think he would characterize the man the same way that you do. Have you met him? Have you read any of his writings?

Why are you so angry? Do you believe that every human being can have human flaws? Or, are religious leaders to be placed on a pedestal? Religious leaders are not allowed to express human emotions?
