I’m still disappointed he’s not an actual llama.
Not in this life anyways
I don’t envy a kid who suddently gets chosen to be the head of a religion.
Dude is just another example of organized religion protecting pedos.
This has already been pretty heavily discussed down below.

Take aways: don’t be racist and judge and very different cultjre’s interaction through a sexualised, western lens.
Besides, If there’s more, don’t you think that the PRC would have had everyone shouting it from the roof tops by now?
If this is the most damming thing they can show, which according to Tibetans isn’t a big deal, then how likely do you think he is to actually be paedohpilic?
Hm, I think he failed his magic spell and we got DALL-E and Llama instead.
He becomes AI and is free – free of a physical body and physical limitations
Dali llama is a cia stooge
I think it’s a little racist to remove agency from people who’ve made moves equally validly explained as self-defence and preservation against a hostile invader.
You forget imperialism is OK when China does it
Does seem to be the case, they also seem to have no follow up to researched rebuttals of their talking points.
Edit: although the person I was responding to does seem to be not, if not anti, Marxist-Lenninist. Maybe they’re Dengian or Maoist…
it’s cool that he can know these things
I assume you don’t believe in Buddhism, but if you do it makes sense. The Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of an enlightened being. Its like if jesus would have come back all the time instead of just once for a few days. (It’s not exactly like that and I’m not Buddhist)
If you actually read the words of the Buddha on reincarnation he was quite explicitly clear that he never endorsed the idea.
That’s really interesting. But ok I don’t want to insult anyone, but wasn’t Siddhartha Gautama only one of many many enlightened ones? And do you know if he didn’t endorse the entire bhavacakra or just the Bodhisattva?
To be clear, I am not a Buddhist, just a long time student of trying to figure out what the fuck is going on here. Closest thing to a philosophy that I follow is the Taoism of the Chuang Tzu which is basically the position of “it’s all a muddle and anyone who tries to tell you they know what’s going on is full of it, best to just be quiet.”
Actually none of it was relevant to his actual words. All of the mythologizing came later. He pretty much summed it up as “What have I elucidated? The cause of suffering and it’s cessation, that’s all.” (to paraphrase). The main problem was he was from a culture with a boatload of nonsense that got grafted on to the teachings. Religious Buddhism is awash in Hindu/Vedic add ons.
