      Yeah they disappeared him and his family when he was just 6 years old, then announced a loyalist the new Panchen Llama. That was 30 years ago.

    Hm, I think he failed his magic spell and we got DALL-E and Llama instead.

      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)

        So why can they do that but I can’t believe I’m the second coming? Genuinely curious.

        In Buddhism you do not reach some heightened sense of being through enlightenment. The whole point of enlightenment is to ascertain knowledge from those before, it cannot give you insight into the future. You can become one with the universe, but you may not dictate where it will flow.

        He isn’t a reincarnation, he’s just some dude that can tap into enlightenment.

        Mysticism to me kinda vanished when I started considering how complex the topics are and how difficult translation would be. Even meditation was mystical before I realized it’s just a dedicated time for you to talk to yourself. It’s basically a dialogue with an observer. You are all three. Which is funny that it fits into the Id, Ego, and Superego theory.

      The stuff he tells to the world is very different from what he tells his own followers. Let’s not forget that he comes from a very long tradition of repressive theocracy.

        Not to mention that he’s setting up a child to be indoctrinated their whole life.

        Worse then raping children and a “god given” mandate to colonize and exploit the world? Just saying that most religions are like this

            Worse than systematic rape within the Catholic church? No offence but I remember this situation and is this all you have? I follow the law of atleast three instances before thinking about patterns (unless the previous 2 are atrocious) this wasn’t atrocious, this is silly and weird but also this is fucking Tibet not london. White ignorant ass making wild assumptions over seemingly minor stuff

              You sure this is the hill you want to die on? Defending a religious leader who has already admitted to pedophilic behavior?

              Why do you think I’m defending other religions?

              And no, it’s not minor, and it’s kind of telling that you’re wiling to ignore it so easily. Would it be minor if it was your child? It’s absolutely atrocious, and unacceptable no matter where you reside on the planet.

                Buddy it seems like between the two of us. You’re the one out of sources. You’re really digging into this one thing. Is that all you have and yet have the gall to talk about a hill to die on?

                I’m not defending the dali liama, but i am saying you lack any Nuance or any knowledge on the topic and this conversation is proof of that.

                Would it be minor if it was your child? It’s absolutely atrocious, and unacceptable no matter where you reside on the planet.

                Not everybody on earth acts like a European/American. Believe it or not, not every culture Is as sex obsessed. You can be hugged and kissed by people you share absolutely no blood to in many Asian cultures (coming from an Asian) and the nuances are long and varied, longer than I can be bothered to write but it you had any willingness to learn, you would and could, but that’s asking too much.

                So I ask again, you say pedophilic behaviour, a pedo is someone who is sexually attracted to kids. I’ll ask again, did the Dali liama fuck a child or say publically he wants to fuck children? Even on Lemmy it seems critical debate is a dying breed

                  The dude sucked a child’s tongue. It’s fucking disgusting that you’re defending that. There is no nuance there, sorry.

      The religions where you chill on a stone all your life and meditate are basically the only ok religions.

      The Bitcoin reserve might be the closest thing to property rights the US has achieved in a century. Its been 10 years of stealing peoples gold and purchasing power, in order to deliver stellar bailouts to risky bankers and hedge funds.
