I was in the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. last wknd. After hearing 2 prominent educators invoke the Dalai Lama at an educators' conference, and much to-do about Obama's refusal to meet with him (and risk our relations with China) in the media, I was shocked to see a full display of Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhist books, beads, and bells in the Cathedral bookshop.

How have we come to embrace Tibetan Buddhism as America's Buddhism? How has this somewhat incoherent cleric become the spiritual mentor of credulous academics who should know better than to accept his authority unquestioningly?

Its time that someone takes this phenomenon to task. Ask the straightforward questions about what exactly he stands for, given his contradictory statements of the past and the benighted history of Lamaism in Tibet. Ask who is funding and supporting his elaborate P.R. campaign, book tours, diplomatic inititiatives, etc., and we will discover the same dark forces (CIA) that helped him set up his "government in exile" and which have supported him as a political tool to use against China.

After the Catholic Church scandal, its time to put aside our American naivite regarding priests and their agendas.

PalinGrrrl is so cute when she gets angry. She's right though, that is a sick tee - 14 stands for the number of draconian policies the Lama supports.

Yeah, life under the Lama

Yeah, life under the Lama caste system wasn't exactly a walk in the park either. The whole "Free Tibet" movement has made for some good musical events, but I'm not sure it's good for much else.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU SAID

I've heard from many Chinese here in the US that things weren't as rosy in Tibet prior to their "liberation" as we tend to paint them. I don't particularly care for that "liberation", but I concur with your sentiment that things aren't as black & white as many would like them to be.

As for this coming from the rightwing, that's only because everything Obama does is wrong to them. If he had met with the Lama, that would've been wrong to them, as well. I take the "Free Tibet" movement to be largely a product of a well-meaning, but not necessarily completely educated, left.
