this talk is perhaps the most important talk of my life. this seriously explained to me, what buddhism is all abut.

[Jabulon88]

? in all fairness, his work isnt political. he is teaching his students how buddhism translates into western society, to preserve it culture for future generations.

calling this practice dishonest isnt very meaningful. we are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of HH's efforts to preserve this culture and to protect his people.

the people of tibet deserve democracy and freedom of religion, something china shouldnt feel threathened about, as far as the region of tibet is concerned.

[RocketMD99]
