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.
