DaLai Lama is coming to my school

I don't really care, but my school is shutting down on 9/19 just for this. To get the picture, my school never shut down even with 5 feet+ of snow.
 
Wow, they're closing the school for that? And SUNY Buffalo does close occasionally for severe snowfalls. But, most of the time when it gets bad enough for the Buffalo schools to close, SUNY Buffalo is still among the last to close if they close at all.
 
it is an honor to meet such a spiritual leader... most of you tards need to get of your greasy arse and quit watching Howard Stern and WWE and actually meet someone with intelligence...

Oh, I forgot...most of you would miss date night with your inflatable girlfriends...
 
Of course it's a big deal. Imagine the Pope coming to your school, although fewer people follow Gelugpa Buddhism than follow Catholicism.

The Dalai Lama and the Pope hold equivalent positions?

The Dalai Lama (in this case, Tenzin Gyatso; Dalai Lama is a title) is the supreme head of Tibetan Buddhism, was at one point the political leader of Tibet (before China conquered it), and is considered one of the earthly incarnations of the Bodhisattva of compassion.

Maybe you should read up on the history first? Dalai Lama is nothing but a fedual king with his own slaves. To compare him to the Pope is laughable.

Lamaist Buddhism is a network of social institutions that arose on the basis of feudal ownership of land and serfs. And, in turn, Lamaist doctrine justified that exploitation by insisting that the righteous are born to rule and sinners are born to suffer.

You call something like that honorable and holy? Give me a break! :roll:

Really? All the Buddhists here respected him like crazy when he visited us.

I really know nothing, but he seemed like a smart guy
 
Hey, I would like to meet the man.

I like meeting religious figures in general. I know a very influential priest who meets with cardinals and has met the pope and all that. The higher levels of the differing religions are interesting to study if nothing else.

yeah yeah, same same. I thought what he had to say was very interesting and even though I i'm not buddhist I would still give him that title only because he has such a peaceful aura about him


Pretty sad that he will be the last.
