No Shock to Anyone: Dalai Lama Professes His Marxist Beliefs
Of course Buddhism and the Dalai Lama are adored by leftists and pseudo communists. That’s why you never see a “Free Tibet” bumper sticker on a car with a Sarah Palin bumper sticker. Only godless leftists think eastern philosophy is the cat’s meow.
From USAToday here:
Midway through the conversation, His Holiness, much to their surprise, told them “as far as socio-political beliefs are concerned, I consider myself a Marxist … But not a Leninist,” he clarified.
His Holiness? Don’t buddhists believe in reincarnation into bugs or something equally stupid? What is holy about that? The rest of his religion is based on a starvation diet and being a beggar. Yep, sounds like a welfare program turned into a religion to me.
I’m surprised you didn’t know that before now. Not only him, almost all Tibetan Buddhist monks are communists. His words. I knew this two or three years ago. That’s one reason I don’t waste a lot of time worrying about him and them, or many other foreigners. Scratch a foreigner bitching about their rights and “democracy” and nine times out of then you’ll smell the stench of left.
