I find it difficult to believe you can think that Kaarine. He was the head of the Tibetan government and you criticise him for being obsessed with the "Chinese issue". I don't know what to say, I really don't. Who are you to judge his devotion to Dhamma so harshly? I'm not religious in any way, I consider myself a pragmatic secular Buddhist but I'm just astounded by your comments on the Dalai Lama. I'm really disappointed and I'm not sure if I want to return here after this sort of talk from a moderator. I'm sorry to be so negative but some times things must be said.
