Dalai Lama says he's reincarnated Goddess

(Buddha's Wisdom) The goddess-bodhisattva (savior) who has ruled Tibet for 600 years

Manjushri, Chenrezig, Vajrapani

It's like we always say at Wisdom Quarterly, Who needs the historical Buddha's instructions when you can have magic and mystery in Tibet and lots of political mumbo jumbo from a corrupt lapsed empire and its pope-king? The Himalayas were like that until Mao's Army crashed in and crushed Lhasa, the Oracle told the leader to get out quick, and ruling elite made a deal with the devils (CIA). Tibet still wields disproportionate influence in the region, now annexed and part of the PRC. Who has time for a tradition akin to American hippies turning their backs on their parents' Christianity to become dirty hippie "Jesus Freaks"? Of course they would want to because who wouldn't want to get back-to-basics and away from corrupt institutions and an out-of-control clergy? If faced with organized religion, do what seekers like Siddhartha have always done: become a shaman (shraman) on a quest for a personally verified experience of ultimate truth. If one has to do it at all, do it right, spiritual exploration over religion rules. Who could possibly choose the holy Roman Empire's version of Catholicism ("Universalism") instead of the direct teachings of an entheogen-consuming, just-back-from-India, dirty, Jewish, Essene, vegetarian Nazarene adept who spent time in a Buddhist monastery and in ashrams and secret initiation site training and preparing for 18 years?

• 11th Panchen Lama (kidnapped by China) controversy

But many will choose the institution, as most of Tibet (a massive region a quarter to half the size of China) did in centuries past. But the real practice of Buddhism involves moving beyond comfortable institutions, rituals, and dogma and onto the mat for purification of heart/mind and view. That's when the real progress begins. Few are probably ready for that, so let's get back to Tibetan politics with the pope-king who is now just "pope" of one Tibetan school or sect, the Gelug Yellow Hats.

Buddhist cult? Bliss & Wisdom, PEI, Canada

(Spoke Media) Are Taiwanese Tibetan Buddhist monks taking over Prince Edward Island?

What is this, a cult, a club, a sect?

Bliss and Wisdom (Chinese 福智, Pinyin Fúzhì) is a Taiwanese Buddhist [that practices Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism] organization operating in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.

Founded in 1991 by Master Jih-Chang, the organization arrived in the Canadian province in 2008 and has come under scrutiny for its significant acquisitions of land.

• Buddhism in Taiwan
• Buddhism in Canada

A citizens group estimates that Bliss and Wisdom has acquired over 17,000 acres of land in crowded Prince Edward Island, contravening the province's land protection legislation.

• Bliss & Wisdom, largest Tibetan Buddhist group in Taiwan faces crisis (Tibet Post International)

The provincial government of Prince Edward Island launched an investigation into Bliss and Wisdom's landholdings in February 2025.

The organization has extensive business holdings in the areas of jewelry, electronics, organic farming, translation, and exporting. They operate a natural foods retailer based in Taiwan called Leezen, which opened its first overseas store in Charlottetown in 2016. More: Bliss and Wisdom: Buddhist organization

Ozzy dead at 76, NK death metal, misogyny

Ozzy Osbourne, lead singer of original British dark metal band Black Sabbath, as gone Back to the Beginning. He is dead of Parkinson's, which is a way of saying severe drug abuse, addiction, alcoholism, and the toll this took on his robust body. Born in 1948 in Birmingham, England, he returned recently to play a final farewell concert. (There were going to be return shows, as he admitted on stage, but it was to be his last). A man fond of Hoovering drugs, he became a doddering fool, only regaining some clarity on stage in the middle of song, otherwise seeming like a Joe Biden standing there, surprised to look that a crowd had gathered to chant his name and call for old hit songs to be played: Crazy Train, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid...

What is "death metal"?

(Occulturation) "Death metal": What does it mean?

Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. It typically employs heavily distorted and low-tuned guitars, played with techniques such as

• palm muting and tremolo picking
• deep growling vocals
• aggressive, powerful drumming, featuring double kick and blast beat techniques
• minor keys or atonality
• abrupt tempo, key, and time signature changes
• chromatic chord progressions [3].

The lyrical themes of death metal may include slasher [horror] film-style violence [4], political conflict, religion, nature, philosophy, true crime, and science fiction [5, 1, 6]. Building from the musical structure of thrash metal and early black metal, death metal emerged during the mid-1980s [7]. More Death metal

Succession? Dalai Lama turns 90 Sunday

I'll be back. I'll return. And it won't be like Saint Issa who said he would have second coming.

(DW) The 14th Dalai Lama affirms he will have a successor after his next death and rebirth

(Al Jazeera) How will the next (15th) Dalai Lama be chosen, who could it be? Will he return?

He may return as a "hot" female as he has said.

Who is the Dalai Lama? He turns 90 next Sunday, on July 6th, 2025. Only John Oliver (Last Week Tonight) has been able to get to the bottom of it. Why do Americans and most of the world (other than China) love him? He got to the bottom of that. The Dalai Lama is the alleged 14th reincarnation (rebirth) of a transformed Vedic Hindu deity named Avalokiteshvara (manifesting as the female deity Chenrezig, Guanyin, Kwannon, Kwan Yin). It's not that there have been 13 previous Dalai Lamas so much as the same one coming back, but not a Buddhist messiah figure. That messiah is Maitreya, the Buddha of the future.

Past life memories are not so unusual. We can remember

How will the next Dalai Lama be chosen – and who could it be?

(Al Jazeera English) July 2, 2025: The Dalai Lama has told followers that the role, that he embodies, will continue after his death. In a video message to a religious gathering in northern India he added that the search for a future Dalai Lama would be carried out in accordance with tradition. That's at odds with China's assertion it should choose the next Dalai Lama. Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lama is reincarnated into the body of a child. Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports on the succession process. Tibetan writer and activist Tenzin Tsundue says the Dalai Lama's statement cuts China out of the process to choose a successor.

Hidden Buddhist monasteries of Mongolia

The hidden monasteries of Mongolia: How Buddhism shaped Mongolia’s nomadic soul | SLICE

(SLICE) In the heart of Central Asia, Mongolia’s vast, untouched landscapes have shaped a unique form of Buddhism, where spirituality and nature exist in perfect harmony.

Introduced in the 16th century, Buddhism spread across the endless steppes, carried by merchant caravans alongside silk and spices. Monasteries rose like mirages in the wilderness, blending seamlessly with the land’s raw power.

Through centuries of resilience, Mongolian Buddhism has evolved, influenced by Tibetan traditions yet deeply rooted in nomadic life.

• Buddhism in Mongolia

From sacred rituals to the revival of monasteries after Soviet repression, this is the story of a faith (saddha) that has withstood time, exile, and change.

  Magic and Mystery in Tibet (David-Neel)

  Tibet was once a Himalayan empire extending from Bangladesh to Mongolia, with its "Vatican" at Potala Palace in Lhasa under its Pope-King the Dalai Lama (Numbers 1-14) overseeing, according to communist China, Serfs' Emancipation Day, This is when China led "serfs" to freedom (on what is now Harriet Tubman Day in the U.S.) in Tibet in 1959 in an act of great concern to the second-class citizens. It was not done to increase China's massive territory by another 25%, extending its 5,000-year-old empire inside of a Great Wall (built by a preexisting empire thought to have been Greater Tartaria) to its present and growing borders. Taiwan is next, as is an invasion of Afghanistan after the British, Russian, and U.S. empires failed.

History of Tibetan Uprising Day

Where can I get those cool flags? (eBay)

Tibet, as it is today, was first unified in the 7th century AD by King Songsten Gampo and his successors. However, its history began in 127 BC, with the formation of the Yarlung Dynasty.

The [communist] People’s Liberation Army of the People’s Republic of China initially entered Tibet in 1949, defeating the small Tibetan army and seizing half of the nation, marking a watershed moment in Tibet’s history [and downfall].

India reassured China (Tibetan Review)

Repression, which included the destruction of holy Buddhist buildings and the arrest of monks (lamas) and other community leaders, rose substantially as resistance to the Chinese occupation grew, particularly in Eastern Tibet.

The communist Chinese government invaded Tibet in 1950, causing chaos and misery for Bon shaman and Vajrayana Buddhist Tibetans, finally resulting in the fall of the Tibetan government and the self-imposed exile of the Dalai Lama and 100,000 Tibetans in 1959.

• Brad Pitt's hit movie Seven Years in Tibet depicts events as a Hollywood spin on a book that is a firsthand account of what happened.
• The CIA was meddling in the area, seducing the young Dalai Lama XIV to sign a "deal with the devil" to fight China and regain his spiritual-temporal throne, as arrangements were made to arm and train Tibetan Buddhists including the Dalai Lama's brother in Colorado, USA, and send them back to fight the Chinese in very un-Buddhist ways, perhaps leading to the Dalai Lama's infamous view and comment about guns. He accepted payments from the CIA, making him complicit as an "asset," not a "CIA agent" as some might think. These are documented facts (CIA gave 'aid' to Tibetan exiles in '60s, files show - Los Angeles Times) admitted to by "His Holiness" but denied by PR firm advised pro-Tibet American activists concerned with only one side of the propaganda story.

Tibetan prayer flags wave in the wind worldwide

Despite all the religious persecution by the officially atheist communists, loss of their national heritage, and frequent violations of their human rights, Tibetans continue to raise their voices in unison, asking for independence.

Tibet is still considered a sovereign state under international law. Tibet’s sovereignty has NOT been transferred to China as a result of China’s armed invasion and ongoing occupation by the People’s Liberation Army (P.L.A.).

All who continue to support this cause believe that someday Tibet will achieve the independence it so dearly desires and deserves. More

The Dalai Lama worked/works for the CIA?

Tibet's pope was king, so we dealt with him.

While the Dalai Lama, a CIA asset, was hesitant to align with the anti-communist Chinese government in Taiwan, his brother Gyalo Thondup, had a lengthy history of contact with the CIA. He was involved in anti-communist governments such as the Kuomintang (KMT) and its leader, Chiang Kai-shek. Brother Thondup spent his early years in Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, where he "ate his meals at the Chiang family table, from April 1947 until the summer of 1949, and tutors selected by Chiang educated the boy" [17]. These close contacts with the KMT are confirmed in a 1959 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) bulletin, which reveals that Thondup met with KMT representatives "to sign an agreement which might be the basis for eventual Nationalist recognition of Tibetan 'independence' and a free Tibet government" [18].

  Well before American Mahayana Buddhists and New Age acolytes began flocking to the feet of Tibet's Dalai Lama, hippies and spiritual seekers were following in the footsteps of [abusive sex cult guru] Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetan lama [or rinpoche] who took up residence in the U.S. during the 1970s [after escaping Tibet to study in England, where he abused drugs and a wild lifestyle, molesting marrying a 16-year-old girl, crashing a car and leaving himself partially crippled, bitter, and angry at his sycophantic students who loved his irreverence as it seemed to match their loose Sixties' lifestyle of "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll"].

Public info in 1998 and you didn't know?

Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (free spirit film festival)

I drink, have sex. Maybe I got a little payola, too

WASHINGTON D.C. — For much of the 1960s, the Tibetan exile movement was provided CIA funding to at least the tune of $1.7 million a year for secret "operations" against China, including an annual "subsidy" of $180,000 for the Dalai Lama, according to newly released U.S. intelligence documents.

The money for the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama was part of the CIA’s worldwide effort during the height of the Cold War to undermine [destroy] communist governments, particularly in the Soviet Union and China.

In fact, the U.S. government committee that approved the Tibetan operations also authorized the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.

The documents, published last month [in 1998] by the U.S. State Department, illustrate the historical background of the situation in Tibet today, in which China continues to accuse the Dalai Lama of being an agent of foreign forces seeking to separate Tibet from China.

Did I know about the deal the Dalai Lama got?

The CIA’s program encompassed support of [violent] Tibetan guerrillas [engaged in warfare] in Nepal, a covert military training site in Colorado [home of the infamous Shambhala sex cult guru Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's Naropa Institute], “Tibet Houses” [like Prof. Robert Thurman's TibetHouse.us] established to promote Tibetan causes in New York and Geneva, [violent] education for Tibetan operatives at Cornell University, and supplies for reconnaissance [aka spying] teams.
