Hi Marsha, What does the Dalai mean when he says freedom? Is he referring to the freedom to choose one's parents in the next life? or the greater freedom to avoid reincarnation altogether and step out of the game and into the void?
If he means the extra but still limited freedom afforded by recognition of one's conditioning then I can go along with his words in the paragraph you clipped. Otherwise I would have to compartmentalise his verbiage along with all the other creationist claptrap.
