At any point did he say, "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate, and Hate leads to suffering."
?
Media types? Part of humanity? Only if you get them drunk.
Does he also believe that the children are the future?
bma - is fear EVER justified? Perhaps if someone was walking around your bed at night with a raging chainsaw, you'd be...a little afraid and fearful, which would lead to running, not the dark side. the running would lead to optimism and hope...that you wouldn't get chain sawed, which would lead to life, which would be good. love and light. so, therefore, "fear" as a solitary notion being "all bad" is total horseshit.
Now, more interesting is the notion of "unwarranted fear". thats an interesting conversation. Most fears are...unwarranted. but some are. thats why we have things like radar and insurance and traffic lights. otherwise, we'd have a lot more warranted scenarios of fear.
"oh yeah, did he by any chance mention that love is good?"
@4: Missed that reference by a mile, eh? :)
humans? no way, one only needs to read the journalist and the murderer to understand the predatory manipulative mind of the journalist.
how to I get to be a Lama and tour the world Rock Star style? I mean he's the spiritual leader of a country he's not allowed in, but still manages to pack arenas and stoke out millions of people daily!
@1 Ah, the Dalai Lama is Yoda. Clearly I see now.
@1 - yes, yes, now I see...yeeees. I did miss that one by a mile. Not fear you were speaking of, but...something else veeeery profound and deep, deep enough for the slog. Thank you. my buddha friend.
Does all of humanity keep a bottle of Wild Turkey in the lower desk drawer?
yoda is a pale reflection of the enlightened buddhist leader.
In the words of Carl Spackler, "Big hitter, the Lama."
@10:
Not so much anymore.
For example, instead of Wild Turkey, my lower desk drawer now only contains a jar of Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter.
Why exactly would someone who supports the NRA and keeps company with the perpetrators of the killing 600k-1m innocent Iraqis be in a position to comment about humanity?
@ 14 - do you get to drop yourself off at the dumb shit park on the way home, or do you have to take you home?
Good one dickwad, I'm guessing you're the other Raymond that everyone avoids.
America....are you bitter?
Sounds to me like he has about the same take on journalists as the rest of us -- right down there with politicians and personal injury lawyers.
Question for Mr Lama: If China freed Tibet today would you expect that Tibetians would hold open and free elections to determine their own destiny based on democratic ideals?
Answer the fucking question, LEFT COAST!
I'm sorry - I'm very much kidding. Left Coast, I have compassion for both you and me. I didn't know the Dalai Lama supported the NRA nor did I know he commiserated with evil empires such as us. what does that say for you? or are you paying taxes in Canada and just cherry picking comments in america?
@1 - Yoda is a mish-mash of every Eastern philosophy that George Lucas has ever heard of. For chrissakes, his name is one letter away from being Yoga. That's some real hippy shit right there.
"Mickey Rooney, maybe? OVER THIS INTERVIEW IS!"
I guess that was a little cryptic Raymond. I was referring to 5280 @2 sock puppeting a human being.
I hold the Dalai Lama in high regard. I do think that Tibetans can be trusted with democracy. Steven Hadley is one of the dumbest men alive, and it's a joke to claim the Olympics are just about sports. There is no excuse for dipshit cowboy to be sitting at the opening ceremonies wondering if they'll be Chinese food after.
do you think the microphone that the Dalai Lama spoke into was made in China?
