    Would be nice to sit down and speak to the Dalai Lama, ask him what he's doing to 'Buddhism'. Perhaps also call him out as being a hypocrite.

    (for example his CIA backing and support for Pinochet)

    He supported the C.I.A because they helped train Tibetans in Guerrilla warfare in the 1950's. As for him supporting Pinochet, I don't know anything about that.

    Yea and continued to be funded by them for years later, even after it was well known about the corruption and other motives the CIA had for helping the rebels.

    Before the 50s tibet was a mess, the Lamas lived well at the expense of the people.
