Not really, it's a patriarchal, theocratic, and quite intolerant mix of 
Buddhism and old shamanistic religions in the area. I really don't see why 
people glorify the religion so, no matter how cute the Dalai Lama is he is 
still a theocratic leader and more conservative then the pope in many 
questions.  Not that that in any way makes the Chinese governments actions 
any more justifiable, and its awful what's happening there. But I hate it 
when people start making saints out of things they really know nothing 
about. One can see it everyday in every newspaper.  Good Guys vs. Bad Guys. 
Too much bad cowboy movies I'd say.
