He doesn’t need to speak. He’s the Buddha of Compassion.

I used to respect the Dalai Lama. No more. Anyone who would sit with the Butcher of Baghdad, Torturer in Chief and say nothing of the world’s greatest sponsor of State Terror cannot be respected.

I realize it may be political naivete. (But I’ve always heard he was rather sophisticated in the past). I don’t think his loving Karma will “rub off” on these murderous scumbags & war profiteers (incl. DiFi & Pelosi). Quite the reverse: when you lie down w/ dogs, you get fleas.

the joke is on Chimpy. For the record, the Dalai Lama has spoken about Iraq.

wonder if the Dali will bring up the Iraqi refugees? Wonder if he will have the nerve to bring up the Iraqi blood that most of the folks on that stage should be drowning in. He is too polite but I can wish.

Mui this is more than a “little” absurd

He doesn’t need to speak. He’s the Buddha of Compassion.

I used to respect the Dalai Lama. No more. Anyone who would sit with the Butcher of Baghdad, Torturer in Chief and say nothing of the world’s greatest sponsor of State Terror cannot be respected.
