Dalai Lama has long been a POS. Has a ton of slaves and people literally give their kids to these people. He's also totally for sale. If you saw The Vow on HBO he knew Keith Raniere was a fraud, said I can't meet you, then caved when their Billionaire member threw in more cash.
Typical Western misinterpretation. Some of the Dalai Lama’s supporters have decried the criticism, however, arguing the leader’s actions have been misinterpreted under a Western lens. “Expression of emotions and manners today has been melted together and become vividly westernized,” Namdol Lhagyari, a Tibetan activist in exile, wrote on Twitter. “Bringing in narrative of other cultures, customs and social influence on gender and sexuality to interpret Tibetan way of expression is heinous.” Sticking out one’s tongue, or penis, is a sign of respect or agreement and was often used as a greeting in traditional Tibetan culture, according to the Institute of East Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the world’s best-known living Buddhist figure.
