Bill: Can you elaborate where do you find The Dalai Lama hipocresy?. I'm not very into their political issues with China. As a person I quite like The Dalai Lama. And this like of him has nothing to do with him being the Dalai Lama. And as for his dharma I wouldn't know much except that his talking is pleasant thought doesn't say much of new that anyone else knows already. But I like him and I don't think that he's an hipocrite but someone who is in a tricky situation. And because of that he tries his best to explore the ways of peace. Perhaps through that he might appear as he was an hipocrite but he's not. He's a man who dreams in a world where everyone is happy and all living beings are safe . I know, he's genuinely like this. But of course he's a human being too. He's not from a western culture and because of that it might be difficult to understand him. But he's genuine within his own culture. Mayka

The people practice a more superstitious daily practice and the Llamas are more intellectual. When asked if he believed in reincarnation, the Dala Lama replied that he shared the same spiritual beliefs as the previous Dalai Lamas. I find the honesty and humor of the Tibetans refreshing.
