#1 As far as I'm concerned he should piss on the Chinese border. I am old enough to remember the events of 1959...

#2 The Dalai Lama spoke recently at UC Santa Barbara for almost an hour and there was some cable channel that aired it. Dunno much about Buddhism but I was curious so I watched. He seems like a kindly old man with a fair amount of wisdom. Wouldn't want to judge whether or not he is equal to or greater than the Pope in stature. But he speaks pretty good English, has a good sense of humor and it was very interesting to listen to him. He did not appear to hold any bitterness toward the Chinese or anybody else for that matter. He actually, wryly, thanked the Chinese for giving him more publicity than he could have ever expected had they not invaded his country. For their part, the Chinese seem to be up against something they don't understand and maybe that's why they fear him so much. I think it'd be funny if some of those Chinese who've moved into Tibet get some of that Buddhist stuff on them.
