Wow, I didn't realize these Buddhist guys had such an ugly history behind them.
Sounds just like the Catholic Church!
I have a radical friend who has always said that this Tibet angle was a CIA and British strategy to rip China apart, but they've evidently snowed basically every other intellectual I know into thinking that the Dalai Lama is some cool, humble, and screwed over dude, when it sounds like he is just an A$$hole in exile.
this doesn't excuse the Chinese government for its censorship, but it raises the question of what kind of censorship has been going on in AngloAmerican colleges, and among the Green/hippie/liberal types so that progressives don't even know what a douchebag this Dalai Lama guy was when he was 'large and in charge' of Tibet.
Thanks
