I totally disagree with you.

How about that?

why would i not be...its not in my nature to be wrong...I wish...

I am a believer in what he stood for...One of my daughters is named after the buddist monks, SHAOLIN,,,,, but all he has done in the last 10 years has been about money, not about beliefs and faith......It is maybe time that he stood down and let the Golden Child take over.....

I was under the impression he was fulfilling his role pretty well.

The only Tibetans I know seem to love and admire him, and consider him their leader working hard for them in exile.

Buddhism seems to be in good shape globally, so he seems to be doing fine there.

He is one of the most respected and admired figures on the planet, able to cross political and religious boundaries in his quest to promote peace.

Nobel Prize winner.

Is there something in his remit suggesting he should not receive money in support of his works?

Am I missing something?

:)

No you are not missing anything..I am just a miserable get who looks on things differently to others....

The only real problem he has is all of the above....

China hates the fact he has somany people under him...Jesus was crusified for the same....having a following can be dangerous for some,,,,,but he has changed the light when it came to his preachings..There was a programme on him last year, an interview with Michael Palin, i think, quote me if i am wrong... and it all seemed abit, well commercial....But thats just my opinion,,,,,
