New Age B.S

I'd love to see the Dalai Lama live for one year in regular society. Say, New York? It would be interesting to see just how 'enlightened' he would be after having to grind it out, make a living, deal with assholes in-person and manage conflict, etc.

Of course, the Dalai Lama has had no conflict in his life.....what was that thing about the Chinese invading and controlling Tibet again?

Let's throw in

It's easy being enlightened and spiritual in your living room. However, that stuff doesn't work well after you reach the nearest sidewalk.

I dunno

He thinks he's the re-incarnation of an Indian guy whose been dead for hundreds of years. He'd blend in pretty good with all the rest of the New York crazies. Heck, just sit him next to the guy who thinks he's Napoleon on the subway.

Yes, and surrounded by LGBTQI

LOL hilarious point.

You could of course add many pampered people to this list.

You could also add rich people. Take a Richard Branson, inject him with an incurable disease then dump him penniless in the heart of a big city, like Toronto.

But that's playing God.

Hello Dalai

The Dalai Lama doesn't think he's the shit. He says all the time he's just a guy and the only thing that really matters is to practice kindness. People get excited about the chanting and the robes and the prayer wheels but the core of Buddhism isn't the mystical bullshit, it's this: "life is hard and you will feel better if you help other people feel better."

Well looks

The Dalai Lama is leader of one of the oldest religions. Hardly new age. I am not religious, but he is one of the few religious figures I have high regard for. I do agree with you that New Age is bullshit, though.
