The fun-loving Dalai Lama gets a dance lesson from Christian Archbishop Desmond Tutu
.
(DalaiLama.com) Is "His Holiness," the currentDalai LamaMr. Tenzin Gyatso, lucid enough to rule the USA? Here he is, honored in New York City, a beloved ally of the US military-industrial complex.
How could Wisdom Quarterly say such things about HHTDL?
Compared to enfeebled, demented, and ever so slightly senile Genocide Joe Biden, Tibet's spiritual leader (and former temporal leader or "god-king," "pope-emperor"), who at one time was in cahoots with the CIA (it's true) as an active "operative," fighting a proxy-war with China, turns 89 today, July 6th, 2024.
I had to do what I had to do for my people.
His great friendship with former U.S. Pres. G.W. Bush, the son of the former CIA Chief and former Pres. G.H.W. Bush, shows how he keeps close to power, a savvy move for a politician though an unsavory one for a spiritual leader, who seems to care not a wit that G.W. and his associates are war criminals.
The CIA paid me lots of $$
The Dalai Lama is not the "pope" of Buddhism. In fact, he is simply the church leader, a cardinal or bishop (rinpoche), of one school of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism known as the Yellow Hats. But his origin story is that he is the 14th rebirth of Avalokiteshvara, the "Bodhisattva of Compassion," neither enlightened nor universally honored even in Tibet. One group (Shugden Dorje followers of the Gelug school) hates him, as hard as that may be to imagine because he is so well spoken and kind, almost as if he were trained to be likeable, a politician, a wise meditator, and a savvy media personality from a very young age. Oh yeah, he was a tulku, after all, a candidate sought out and trained since childhood.
If Wisdom Quarterly could ask him anything, what would it ask?
Would we have to ask it through Prof. Robert Thurman (tibethouse.us) or actor Richard Gere?
No, directly ask him himself.
Oh, in that case, we would ask him, "What did the Dalai Lama say to the pizza maker when he ordering his pie?"
Why?
Well, that should keep him and his interpreters busy for a good long while.
No, seriously.
We would have to ask him if it had been worth it working for the CIA.
But that's taboo. He's the king!
Why is it taboo? He admits it (just as Pope Benedict admitted to being a member of Germany's Hitler Youth in his childhood), even if other well-meaning Buddhists try to hide the fact to preserve his public image. No wonder China is mad.
Okay, we would ask him what George W. Bush is really like. Is he as stupid as he seems, or are BUSH, DICK, and COLON nice fellows, even if they committed war crimes?
Are you mad at His Holiness?
The Dalai Lama loves children just like Jesus.
No, but seeing him playfully molest (massage the pre-pubescent penis of) the Unmistaken Child in the documentary of the same name was upsetting, making one wonder how similar Tibetan Vajrayana and Roman Catholic monasticism are, two cults dedicated to pederasty so much so that no involved seems to notice how much it would offend the general public not part of their secret sexual rites.
Does the Dalai Lama to tantric sex? With children?
Yab-yum: tantra for holy union
Sadly, although the Dalai Lama himself tells the truth and says he is just a simple monk who meditates everyday like any other monk (is not enlightened), and that he accepted money for years from the CIA (but it's not something he thinks about, just another source of international funding, probably with no strings attached, none whatsoever), and rather than molesting children in his room, palace, Dharamsala mansion, he exhibits it for all to see how innocent it is for a nearly 90 year old man to swap spit with a male minor, but his handlers and defenders want to lie for him and deny any facts inconvenient to the narrative.
Holy artifact and likeness dispenses blessings
Given what Dr. David Ammon Hillman has uncovered in the Ancient Greek texts about earliest Christianity, is it any wonder what these patriarchies/misogynistic all-boys clubs (the Vatican in the Holy See and Potala Palace in Lhasa) are up to? If the "pontiff" could talk about that, it would be nice. But all the Roman pontiff does is ask, "Who am I to judge?" and the Tibetan one just laughs heartily. This is why church and state should always be kept separate.
Make out with me. Come on, I'm the boss, and I say it's okay to swap spit. Here, you suck first.
The USA has fought China helped Tibet for a long time, and no one should think that our military and clandestine agencies would allow the Chinese Empire to steal a quarter of its land from its neighbor without a great geopolitical struggle.
This was glorified as was Nazi involvement in Tibet in the movie Seven Years in Tibet with Hollywood movie star Brad Pitt as the principal Nazi befriending the 14th Dalai Lama, though U.S. military involvement -- through CIA agents entering the forbidden land and brokering secret deals with Lhasa -- are conspicuously absent from the American film.
The Dalai Lama's message on his 89th birthday July 6, 2024, is a birthday message for the current leader of China, the world, and the Company.
