Dalai is always a lier. All he has wanted is to slave their own
Tibetian in the name of holding secret key to the heaven, and this is
already against the teaching of Buddha. Dalai just want to be the king
on earth living on the hardship of his people like before he was
crushed and run away from China.
As long as the CCP is in charge, dalai has no way even until his body
rotten.
he Dalai Lama Does Not Represent International Buddhism 29-11-08
The Dalai Lama represents about 80,000 Buddhist belonging to the
Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
The non-Buddhist world attaches great value in the wisdom and peaceful
efforts of the 14th Dalai Lama, H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, in trying to
achieve full autonomy for his "Yellow Hat" sect of Tibetan Buddhism in
Tibet. Most Westerners see the Dalai Lama as a peaceful, righteous
religious Buddhist monk representing Buddhism much like the Pope
Benedict XVI, (Joseph Ratzinger) represents the Head of the Roman
Catholic Church or Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury
represents all International Anglican Christians. But we must look at
these representations with a proper perspective.
The Roman Catholic Pope represents 1.13 Billion Catholics world wide.
The Archbishop of Canterbury represents 77 million Anglican Christians
world wide.
The 14th Dalai Lama represents approximately 80,000 Yellow sect
Buddhists mainly based in Dharamsala, India.
This means that the Dalai Lama is speaking on behalf of 0.09% of world
Buddhism. Less then 0.1 % of Buddhists. That is the real perspective.
Explanation: Records of Buddhist memberships are not obtainable and
quatification is confusing because like in China, Buddhism and Taoism,
and Confucian philosophy are all inter-mixed and it is not possible to
know when one begins and the other ends. Buddhist rituals are used in
Taoist temples and vice versa with Confucian doctrines permeating
throughout. In India Buddhism and Hinduism again is inter-mingled and
confusing. In other regions, the separation of Buddhism and Shintoism
is again a vague distinction. Through the Buddhist world, because it
is more of a philosophy than a religious doctrine, Buddhism is can be
incorporated into any religious belief without serious conflict. Hence
to separate Buddhism from other religious faiths is at best guess
work. Hence the figures presented are at best informed estimates. I
will use mean figures and favour the underdog for the purposes of
The total world Buddhist Population is estimated to be from 680 to
1,512 million. (Mean used is 1,101 million.)
The People' Republic of China's Buddhist ppopulation is estimated to
be from 278 to 1057 million. (Mean used is 668 million.)
Tibet's total ethnic population pre-1950, was about 1 million of which
900,000 were serfs (i.e. not Buddhist monks or aristocrtacy.) The
remaining 100,000 ethnic Tibetans were either Monks or wealthy
aristocracy.
Of this number, 80,000 (mostly Gelug (Yellow Hat sect) members fled to
Dhramsala, India). Here I assume that the 20,000 remaining behind
belonged to other budist sects and were not Gelug as there are 3 other
Buddhist sects in Tibet.
(1) Assuming all Tebetans were of the Gelug sect (Dalai Lama Sect) of
1 million in 1950. (In reality probability there were 65,000 Gelug
followers in 1950.)
(2) Assuming world Buddhists averaged 1,101 million and
(3) Assuming Buddhists in China averaged 668 million
The Dalai Lama represents 0.09% Tibetan Buddhists in the world of
Buddhism.
The Dalai Lama represents 0.149% Buddhists in the whole of China.
Yet the West treats the Dalai Lama as though he speaks for world
Buddhism.

Tibet buddhism where Dalai Lama comes from is actually Cult Buddhism.
They have already get
some strong foot hold in Singapore and they are going to open more
tibetian buddhism worship
around the world after he met with George W Bush which was shown on
the news that the Dalai
Lama shake warm ties hands with him which he end up angered China
communism. That is afterall
his first stop of visit.

Why is the Western world so ignorant about the Dalai Lama? He sure has
a good propaganda department blowing up his image. Why do other
Buddhists not speak out and tell the truth? Why?

Your statement is based on ignorance.

I was friends with a psychiatrist who escaped the USSR. The man was
brilliant he but had a number of absurd beliefs. Some seemly had
little to do with Communism for example he was taught that before the
Romans came to Britain the people who lived there were cavemen. I
showed him a copy of Julius Cesar's journal. He was grateful to me
for showing him the truth. The reason he had those ideas was he
received his education in a closed society.

One thing that he learned about religious organizations after he left
the USSR was they were very different then highly disciplined
political organizations. It was a natural mistake because he was
taught lies and more importantly his only experience was with highly
disciplined political organizations.

On paper religions are organized like the Communist party in reality
the hierarchy as little if any control of it clergy much less its
members. The clergy must show up for work as their assigned work
stations but they can believe anything they want as long as they don’t
publicly denounce the core beliefs of their religion.

Even in the Catholic Church a Bishop cannot tell a pastor how to run
his parish or make him attend a political rally. I never met a
Catholic who worships the Pope. No one expects to receive orders from
the Pope. Sure they want to meet him because they think he is
beautiful in a spiritual way but no one will ever click their heels
together and say “Heil, mein Führer!”

The Dalai Lama is something a Chinese Communist cannot understand.

Of course part of your job is denouncing him.
