Strange news on Dalai Lama

I'm just gonna give my gut feeling cause I got nothing to back it up (yet?)

I always had a bad feeling about the Dalai Lama, and still do.

There, I said it.

You're not alone in that. I am surprised that this thread was not already hijacked by those who are convinced that His Holiness is the root of all evil and eats babies. If you search, you will find a thread where his detractors make their case.

When I tune into the Dalai Lama, what I see is that although he is highly intelligent and enlightened, he is not as enlightened as most assume. Some people think he is the Buddha incarnate, which he is not. However, the joy and compassion that emanate from him make me weep. That is obviously not an intellectual observation. It's a vibrational one.

I suggest simply looking at what he has to say in his writing and speeches and let that speak for itself. I don't agree with his every point of view, but then again I am a Taoist. I find his views enlightening and thought provoking.
