The Dalai Lama is turning 90 on July 6 and has announced that when he dies he will reincarnate, and has previously said it would be someone outside of China. His broadcast about it was censored in China. China has said they will find the new Dalai Lama within China...

Thought about posting this in Religion but I decided it belongs here instead. China’s Tensions With Dalai Lama Spill Into the Afterlife :D The Dalai Lama is a heretic to his own religion and the Central Party gets to decide who he reincarnates as. :D Does he actually believe in...

China has been annoyed with Norway ever since the Dalai Lama got the Nobel Peace Prize, and relations plummeted again after the prize was given to Liu Xiaobo in 2010. Since then the relationship between the two nations has been described as 'dead'. Now the Dalai Lama is visiting Norway again...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100218/pl_nm/us_china_usa Good for Obama. This is a statement for democracy, freedom, and against Chinese tyranny and genocide in Tibet. China needs to learn that the West will not kow-tow to all of their demands. Statements supporting freedom and democracy must...

First, let me say up front that I in no way condone the ways the Chinese government abuses human rights, in Tibet or elsewhere. However, the recent crisis and it's international reactions have left me a little puzzled. In two places (Iraq, Afganistan), Western countries have recently entered...

Linky. My only response: Whoa.

Why do you need to think about philosophy so much? The answers are given by HH the Dalai Lama!

I am pretty new to this board. My first exposure to 9/11 conspiracy theorists was on another forum. I thought at first that the people I was speaking with were joking when they said they'd discovered secret neocon plans to take over the world. Where did they find these secret plans? Why...

Below is the opening of a bio of the Dalai Lama, from Wikipedia. He is the best person to interview in the way of an experiment to find out how he really thinks of himself as a reincarnation of another person who died hundred of years back. I will email him or his office to arrange a...
