Or how it relates to the example you gave. I just don't think you understand what you originally posted. Aka you don't see them as the label you used for each. Yes I get your example (but damn what a weirdly racist one you chose). To be closer to your original you would need to restate it as something like, "Meghan Markel is about as British as Shaquille O'Neal is Irish." Implying both are not the thing (citizenship) just as in your original the thing was leader of a religion. Both in how they are similar and how they are different. You may want to compare your example to your original. They have worse up their sleeves yet, don't loose faith. To ignore this, or worse assume you know better, is to learn in blood the same lessons long since written down and waste precious time doing it. If for no other reason, there is tremendous value in the hard earned wisdom of generations codified as religious traditions and norms of a people. Yet speaking from the spiritually destitute valley of the blind where this all began, don't loose your religion. Choose your motive, their tactics are simply applications of what already worked in the West and Tibetan Buddhism already being foul of a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist jealous God in the PRC, it will get a lot of extra play in media. I chalk it up to what Markendeya predicts in the Mahabharata about the Kali Yuga coming true. Some think it's pedophiles, others think it's a jealous power structure. Why does post-modernity want to erode sources of sexuality norms? You tell me. They paint the religious leaders and officiants as perverts, play up any indication of such as a means to imply hypocrisy due to (in Christianity's case especially due to its inherited mythology) the tendency of religion to codify sexuality norms and traditions. ![]() The headlines imply this because they are employing the strategy the jealous, only God of modernity (with Marx lingering in the background) has already successfully used to destroy Christianity of both the Protestant (excluding the Mormons) and Catholic variants. Saying he leads all of Buddhism is like saying the Pope leads all of Christianity Plenty of Buddhists throughout the world have lineages that have nothing to do with him. ![]() There is no one leader of Tibetan Buddhism, aside from the Tathagata and Padmasambhava themselves.Īnd, in case it needs to be said, he is not the leader of Buddhists worldwide. No matter what happens, we should do well to remember this fact. Most of the high Lamas in the Sakya school are married. He is a married Lama and his lineage is passed from father to son. My own school is the Sakya school, and our head is HH Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, the Sayka Trizin. The five schools of Tibetan Buddhism each have different kinds of leadership. He is a spiritual head of one of the five main schools of Tibetan Buddhism (the Gelug) and his position was formerly the head of the temporal government of Tibet. I just want to remind all, Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike, that HH the Dalai Lama is NOT the leader of Tibetan Buddhism.
