[HHTHEDALAILAMA]

China invaded Tibet, an independent nation, and annexed it in 1950.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959.

China tightly controls Buddhism in Tibet.

Monasteries function mostly_ as tourist attractions.

Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.M Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

The Dalai Lama says he wants Tibetan autonomy and political independence. Yet he allows himself to be used as a tool by western powers keen to humiliate China. Between the late 1950s and 1974, he is alleged to have received around $15,000 a month, or $180,000 a year, from the CIA. He has also been, according to the same reporter, remarkably nepotistic, promoting his brothers and their wives to positions of extraordinary power in his fiefdom-in-exile in Dharamsala, northern India

Take your propaganda elsewhere. Dalai Lama came from a poor family, as there where no restrictions on who could become a Dalai Lama, one need not even be Tibet. Dalai Lama was a child with no formal education when the Chinese invaded. Yes, he inherited a backward system but at least it was ours, our country, our people, our freedom. There was no slavery in Tibet, ever, but plenty in China and even slave labor in China today.

According to statistics, the family of the 14th Dalai Lama possessed 27 manors, 30 pastures and more than 6,000 serfs. About 33,000 ke (one ke equals 14 kilograms) of qingke (highland barley), 2,500 ke of butter, two million liang of Tibetan silver, 300 head of cattle, and 175 rolls of pulu (woolen fabric made in Tibet) were squeezed out of its serfs every year.

this mans comments at the end about his experiences is what it is all about. HH Dalai Lama is what its all about. we are what its all about. happiness is experienced not just an idea. happiness can and is experienced through genuine concern about others, try it if you dont believe it.. your standpoint can be no it doesn't but you have to be able to prove it to yourself, not me.
