    He´s Buddhist.

    They have a very balanced and peculiar view of good and bad.

    Maybe he was referring to them as extremes, one good, one bad.

    This info is coming from a Piers Morgan interview that was on last night and his holiness was asked if he could name the person he enjoyed meeting the most. He right away said that it was very memorable to meet Nelson Mandela and then he added that he thought George W. Bush was a really nice person when he met him. He did not say he admired him, or even looked up to him. He just said that "he seemed like a really nice person".

    A person of his spiritual level doesn´t fear darkness. He knows that in order to have light, we must have darkness. In order for good to exist, we must have the bad. One can´t exist without the other, just like in order to exist life, death also must exist.

    Each of the extremes exist in duality, but in the end they are just one, so, if you hate darkness you end up hating the light as well.

    That´s probably how he sees the world.

    As a spark of the divine creator, a being of light and love, it must have been a heavy, heavy karmic burden to take on the role and personality of George Bush in this life. Bless him for making such a sacrifice to wake up so many of us and for playing his role of bumbling idiot destroyer of the world to such perfection.

    That's OK - most people would probably have a similar "belief" for unique reasons. But have you actually met Bush? Or the Dalai Lama? That is no longer so much belief as it is "experience" (And you would probably need to "experience" them both - for real to fully comprehend the duality)

    Very spiritual people who use the term nice, are typically conveying indifference.

    Its a bland boring word, and it worth a yawn. Its a nice way of saying sheep (lol)

    Probably George Bush was nice upon meeting the his holiness. Because he managed to refrain from his usual assholery long enough to behave himself perhaps the Dalai Lama said the most appropriate thing he could. Tact.

    Love thy friends. Love thy enemies.

    People seem to understand this until someone mentions one of their enemies by name.

    George Bush, as a soul, served a wonderful purpose. The density he created woke many people up.

    It is much harder to be Judas than Peter. On a soul level, we owe him our thanks.

    I struggle with this concept (that we choose to play a role for a soul purpose), and perhaps this is not the place to discuss that in great detail. BUT, when I consider Robert Mugabe, George W Bush, and so on, I always say, with much gratitude, 'thank you that I am not that person'. Imagine having that much power and causing such harm? AND, I try to remember that before I judge them I shouod consider 'what if I had to walk in their shoes'. YET I am human so I end up then being angry and judgemental (enough is enough - stop hurting people!).

    If we forgot what he has done and what he is, maybe many of us would finds GWB to be a 'nice' person in a gung ho kind of way! The scary thing is that people who do really bad things are sometimes very nice people.

    Nothing surprises me anymore
    Maybe it is in the physical sense? George Bush must be taller than the DM.

    Joking aside, I agree with Whiskey Magic, the Bushes have played a big part in accelerating evolution as well - just by being the challenge! George Bush has been a gift!

    Cool Re: Strange news on Dalai Lama

    The idea that someone can be a 'Nice Person' and yet promote destructive and ignorant policies is nothing new really.
    Hitler was reported to be a very charming, affectionate man in his private mode, children were drawn to him and he loved animals,
    this has nothing to do with the results of his actions and beliefs on a 'Macro' level. Human Beings are strange dualities, paradoxes in action.
    Who among us can claim to be 100% 'Good' & "Pure of heart"? We are all capable of being stupid, selfish and destructive at times, and yet we are all probably 'Nice People'. That is my take on it.
