I agree with loveworld.

As I have mentioned before, 100 people telling you "Jack is a murderer" doesn't prove that Jack IS a murderer even though only 1 person says "Jack is innocent."

We indeed need more and more communication. The best way is to be a guest to each other's home.

Q: Why in the West Stalin and Lenine are diabolized while they are still loved in the former USSR ?

A: education : when you have been repeated so many times that Bob is your enemy, you will finally admint  Bob is your enemy. You don't even need to listen or see Bob. What's happening with DL is exactly what happened with the communist in the US. As long as a lie is good for the mass, there is no problem

No, chinese fellow, think hard and tell me how many times you have read or listen that DL is baaaad, and how many times you have sincerly studied his arguments in a straight way ?

frklx, don't make too many assumptions. I lived in the West and have heard nothing but good things about the dalai lama. In fact it sounds so good, you say to yourself 'this guy is surely too good to be true'. As the saying goes don't judge a book by it's cover. That is exactly what the dalai lama is ie a good book cover. Look beyond the cover bro and see things from the 'other' side. Go and study Buddhism for while and then ask yourself, why a buddhist monk would seek to rule over a country and then you'll begin to understand why most Chinese don't trust him. Plus you have the fact that he was involved with the CIA before, to try and break up China. The CIA trained his freedom fighters, provided the funds for his life in exile and the creation of the 'free Tibet movement'. No sane Chinese person can believe a word the man says given his previous record.

Is he really a monk now?  Maybe just a disguise to earn pity from westerners, who don't know the complete picture.  A real monk don't desire anything material.  This guy is just so greedy.

In my opinion, D.L is more politician than a simple monk, and that's why he is so popular among the world politicians, and furthermore, he is even more famous than the hollywood stars as he is always with charming smile and peaceful eyes and attitude, so a kind of "Zen Attitude"! (current fashion in Europe!)
Also, he is a very lucky person because he can pray in the temple without worry about finances!
Even I know that money is not part of the body, but I can't live with the wind, so have to work, like most people!!!

Still I hope he will get chance to see Tibet one day so he can know the fact and the truth there!

Don't you think that a true monk should stay in a temple instead of  flying all over the west nations all the time?  How could he never talks in Tibetan language?  How could he have any right to represent Tibetan people when he hasn't been in Tibetan area since the late 50s?

Dalai Lama is just the stooge of USA and its allies. He needs money from them to pay for the living  expenditure of 100,000 Tibetans-in-exile in Dharamsala as well as his own travel expenditure. He has to do and say what the paymasters want him to do and to say!

If he is of no use anymore, he will be abandoned!
So, he has to continue to put in effort to make himself useful to the paymasters!

A monk wants to be king, Who he is? Does all the tibetian obey on him? He should ask Tibetian people, not oversea those serf owners

DL should not ask Tibetian people but Chinese people, because Tibet is part of China.
