Dalai Lama says successor will be born in ‘free world’ outside of China

China already took custody of the young Panchen Lama, who plays an integral part in identifying the reincarnated Dalai Lama.

I'd say their attempt to replace him is more than inevitable -- it's already underway.

Ironically musk starting a servitude-built Mars colony and then the next religious leader that can just exist in a vacuum without dying or breathing is born there or something, is basically where I’m putting my faith in this timeline I live in; because it appears logic and human compassion were cool ideas when more people were using psychedelic drugs.

It’s not a bitcoin reserve it’s a corrupt shitcoin reserve so that musk and pals can pilfer US dollars. Do you really just believe everything the proven liar says?

Yes, but it's the fanbase that matters.

If you actually read the words of the Buddha on reincarnation he was quite explicitly clear that he never endorsed the idea.

Ah, nothing but a bit of casual racism on your left wing platform.

It is indeed, adult Bobby Hill!

Might be a younger Bill

unlikely, he clearly said, free world.

I thought he was born in Arlen, TX?

Just wondering, is he gonna have a father that sells propane and a Laotian GF?

What would be really cool, was if the kid didn't belong to a Tibetan buddhist family. It was just some random kid in rural Alabama. Think about it: "We have found the 15th Dalai Lama! It's a boy called Billybob Jackson"

Not Alabama, but there is a Lama from Minnesota

If you ascribe to the idea that the Dalaï Llama is/was a cia operative, and a sort of bridge/conduit between the interests of East and West, this sets up quite the “lottery” for where power may shift.

Because his followers are quite far and wide, not just of “race” (and I use that very loosely), it creates a very powerful base that will follow a sort of leader.

Interesting timing, especially since his long time friend the Aga Khan just passed away.

It's doubtful that they killed him, he was just a kid when they took him. They have him squirrelled away somewhere, having gone through heavy indoctrination. Just waiting for the Dali Lama to die.

Not to mention that he’s setting up a child to be indoctrinated their whole life.

Show me one example, please. In my experience the message for his followers is absolutely the same. He speakes about Buddha, about kindness and wisdom and how to apply the Buddhas words in the modern world.

I have seen quite a few events now that he has held for Tibtain monks and nuns and that were provided with English subtitles. I see no different message there, than he has for his western audiences. Of course, there is a difference in how he speaks about things, but not what he is saying.

Worse then raping children and a "god given" mandate to colonize and exploit the world? Just saying that most religions are like this

Nothing wrong with meditating on a stone all your life, but where does a monk's meal come from? Who grows the food? Who weaves the cloth? If it were all just charity, that would be one thing...

Before China, Tibet was a feudal society, with the monastery at the top of the hierarchy. They wielded power; religious, political, and physical. The punishment for disobeying a monk was to have your hands cut off. And this wasn't just some ancient state of affairs, it was happening in the 20th century.

"Don't be an asshole. That's all."

If that was the version of Buddhism he's advocating for Tibet would still be an autonomous region instead of under direct control.

They had child sex slaves and a caste system that would make some parts of India blush.

Yeah they are an organized theocracy that regularly abused their power and children through history and exploited the peasants. It's my own personal term for them since the parallels are too hard to ignore.

I think they mean "is bhuddist, acts catholic"

Reformed theocracy as a form of government is peachy keen then? LOL. "We said we're sorry and we won't do the eye gouging thing anymore, now let us resume the child abduction."

As soon as the US gives all the land back to natives and pays reparations to blacks and repatriates the money stolen from workers by the capitalists I'll consider the idea of China relinquishing Tibet back to the theocracy (I probably won't to be fair since we know that will never happen).

Also tongue sucking is a Tibetan greeting now is it? How TF you can say "western sexualized lens" with a straight face is mind boggling.

You forget imperialism is OK when China does it

The invader was only hostile to the wealthy landowners who quite literally enslaved the people in literally feudal Tibet. Imagine if China had given international recognition to Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution, and people were treating her as a sort of government in exile. This is literally what the US is doing with the fucking Dalai Lama
