To me, the following paragraph in the article is the best :

------------------------------------------------------

The ever popular Dalai Lama has his own place in New York, thanks to Richard Gere. The actor likes the Dalai Lama so much that he sacrificed his marriage to Cindy Crawford by taking her one too many times to the Himalayan boonies to sit and scratch bugs off her beauty mark while he meditated. He probably figured he could meet up with her in his next life. Cindy did not care to wait that long.

We’ll have no more of that! Wonder how they might possibly plan to enforce something that doesn’t happen.

It is appointed onto man once to die and then the judgment. Hebrews 9:27

“So we finish 18, and he’s gonna stiff me. So I say ‘Hey, Llama, how about a little somethin’, you know, for the effort?’ He said to me ‘there won’t be any money, but on your deathbed, you will receive total conciseness,’ so I’ve got that going for me.”

There is the question that enters ones mind about reincarnation; if the Dalia Lama really believes in reincarnation as he says he does, why didn't he just stick around Tibet and face death with the rest of his people?

Or you could make the same argument about the bulletproofing of the Popemobile. I think it is using common sense myself and don't judge or condemn either action. While the Chinese are at it, why don't they just outlaw God and be done with it.

I know a guy named Dolly. He makes cheese from llama milk. The Dolly Llama Cheese Company.

This is a stupid mean and frankly, dishonest article on the Dahli Llama and Buddhism in general. What was the Dalhi Llama supposed to do? Wait for the Chinese to come in and put a bullet in his head and then tell everybody that he was under house arrest? He has done so much more for the Tibetan cause by escaping and setting up an enclave in INdia. I really don’t undrstand what the author is trying to convey in this article. Is it humor? A dig on Richard Gere? The Chinese? Buddhism in general? Really stupid article that does The Llama or Buddhism no favors.

China has more problems than anyone knows (although they are starting to find their way into the outside world).

“China has just announced that reincarnation has now been outlawed...”

Shouldn’t be surprising; China has long since outlawed freedom and democracy, God and religion - it was only a matter of time before they got around to reincarnation. This sort of thing begins when Marxists and other collectivists outlaw reality and human nature. Liberals take note.

Well considering that he’s now married to Miss Ross, I’d say Gere landed quite solidly on his feet.

Does the place have really neat gerbil habitats?
