Jody,
Thanks for your reply. I won't be ready MY LAND, MY PEOPLE, but I'm sure it's well-written and very inspiring - although you've got to admit such a possessively charged title is not very Buddhist-like. I wish the Dalai Lama well in all of his endeavors, but in the political case in Tibet, to me, he's just another ethnic nationalist. I like him better as a Buddhist teacher. As far as Ghandi's quote, at least Ghandi never pretended to be a spiritual leader - although there are many who think of his as that. He's a true-blue nationalist, and a successful one at that. .Bill! From: Jody W.

I suggest you read MY LAND, MY PEOPLE by the Dalai Lama and then you will understand.
