Be Free at Last. Reincarnation and the 15th Dalai
Lama. The end of the Dalai Lamas,
announced by the current 14th Dalai Lama in an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, would usher the rebirth of Tibetan
Buddhism as it abandons its wrongful understanding of reincarnation and return
to original Buddhism roots to begin Tibetans on the long journey of
enlightenment towards the Truth.
Tibetans
would finally be completely free to create their own future through the
cultural transformation of the worldviews and mental paradigms which has locked
them in a timeless medieval prison of theocratic serf bondage for centuries
until the 1950’s. And with this change, ordinary Tibetans can prepare their
children for the crucial reforms, radical social reconstruction and education
towards a better, more modern future society with the rest of the world.
"Reincarnation”
is popularly, but wrongfully, understood to be the transmigration of a soul to
another body after death. Each successive Dalai Lama thus justifies his
continual entitlement as the spiritual and political Head of the Tibetans residing
in the posh and luxurious Potala Palace overlooking the world’s highest plateau.
There is no such
teaching as Tibetan “reincarnation” in Buddhism.

With China more engaged in Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and the Old Silk Route, the People in these Regions will have more enlightened views of their Faiths.
The Internet Era will have tremendous effects on all Faiths and chances are that more believers will question the superstitions related to their belief and have their light bulbs turn on.
The Future for those that open their eyes, ears and minds will be bright.
Fuck this donkey lama
Wondering if peanut lady still attending classes
The idea of reincarnation appears in many spiritual philosophies and religions.
As all spiritual philosophies and religions are bullshit, any purported "teachings" whether or not they appear in each particular case is also BULLSHIT.
Contrary to popular belief, and if you consider the "objective" case Faith IS NOT a virtue Faith is beief without evidence, which means pure and simple : gullibility.
I agree that it is better to believe a faith than to try to prove it with facts and human logics. Just be happy believing what you want to believe.
The problem comes when one is trying to convert another to one's belief.
@redbean:
There is a difference between "belief" and "knowing".
And you are right: if one is dumb enough/ mentally handicapped to take something on "faith", looking for "evidence" or trying your best to use "logic" means you don't really believe, and your faith is useless. (which is a good sign...a sign that you might be "grown up")
The stance is a little too pro-PRC.

I do not know Mickey's logic. At the time of Buddha, there is no such thing as "Tibetan Buddhism". The Tibetan reincarnation theology is developed as early as 12th century.
There is reincarnation theology throughout entire Buddhism and this is what Tibetan Buddhism base their "Tulku" institution from.
Like it or not, there is no Dalai institution in Buddha time but there is not just Dalai institution, but reincarnate Panchan and Karmapa.
Mickey need to check his logic.
It is right that separation of religion and church is the future to human's well being. But many joker keep attacking Dalai Lama simply because he is a soft target.
Dalai while ending the reincarnation tradition has actually move Tibet society and culture forward. Instead of commending Dalai, Mickey hurled acerbic attack. Notwithstanding the "Panchan" under PRC control has not renounce reincarnation.
While I hate superstitious, there is no longer any Buddhist theocracy in this entire planet. Why bark Dalai?
However, the world has a lot of Islamic theocracy or "Islamic states". India, and Nepal is de facto Hindu theocracy. India is build to be dominated by Hindu, that the Muslim under Jinah pissed off to form Paki.
India still have fuck lots of Hindu shit caste system and Hindu temple prostitute.
Why bark Dalai?
Reincarnation will enslave Singaporeans forever.
- You better hope Lee Kuan Yew never returns
Any use in religious logic? Even Histories of all the Faiths are worthless if not for the many man made edifices and consequences as a result of Beliefs.
Reincarnation is nonsense but death is real and important. At least it disallows badmen to abuse others indefinitely.
Forget about Logic in Religions, there is none.
My psyche is like Immanuel Kant who is deeply religious.
"Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
After studying the law of physics, I wonder who created them?
No God?
Unfortunately, all earthly religion institution eventually will be hijack by Kong Hee type.
All superstitious man will be awed by many things and wont be able to extricate him/herself from being bewildered.
Many Chinese need to wake up to what PRC is doing, instead of blinding chanting their tune. Even though I am a patriotic Chinese, I support higher virtue rather than 100% support PRC.
PRC keep attackng Dalai even though Dalai has not create any insurgencies since early 1970s. That is already 40 years ago.
On the contrary, the jokers that hurt PRC most is Sunni Islamofascist Uyghur. Why no one is attacking Sunni institution?
Worse, PRC keep sucking up Sunni, by support Pakistan. PRC best friend is not N Korea but Paki. Pakistan then hurt PRC interest by supporting Taliban.
The Sunni Uighur Islam keep killing people and keep telling everyone in the world "Chinese kill Muslim".
Right now, PRC and Sunni are strange bedfellow.
Luckily Sunni Islamist focus their self-victimization and hate against Israel, and USA become hate collateral.
China should count herself lucky and bad karma has not really come to her yet. East Turkistan aka Xinjiang is 70 times bigger than Israel. The day Israel go down, Sunni will Jihad Chinese.
You are right on this. When they have destroyed Israel and American supported regimes, they will turn to attack China.
Veritas is virtuous and righteous, however wholesomeness requires more.
An enlightened being is always conscious of 人外有人
天外有天。
there are better and higher mortals.
Donkey lama CIA sponsored so called Tibetan Buddhism centers across the globe are anti China sleeper cells
In 2008 they attempted to use these to create trouble during the Olympic
Now the donkey is advocating idiots to self immobilized.. fuck him
Truth cannot set you free in S'pore lah! Only voting Opposition can set us free.

Rb,
Would like to share some thoughts after watching some YouTube videos on "cobra" .
One of the videos was shot in HK and about this snake restaurant serving all kinds of dishes of snakes including "cobra" .
Out of all snakes, "cobra" to many is the most "DETESTABLE" !
Rb, how about YEW?
Which snake YEW "HATE" most?
When the masses "hate" some political people or party to the core, are these politicians days in politics "NUMBERED" ?
When some political people made the masses "hate" them from deep down in the bones, do YEW not think such politicians are "SUPER SUPER PATHETIC?"?
If such politicians were upright and honourable people, long ago they would have "dug" a deep and big hole, jump inside and NEVER to emerge under daylight again?
Rb,
It is "understandable" many people "hate cobra "?
"Cobra" is very "dangerous" ?
One "bite" by "cobra" often will "send" the victims to see their "maker" ?
If you look at those Buddhist temples in Thalland or Myanmar you will find cobras adorning the roofs. A cobra was there to provide shelter to Buddha during a thunder storm.
As for empires, everyone must fall. This is as real as the law of gravity. And during the end days foolish emperors would appear and surrounded himself with fools, conmen, tricksters, traitors and people who would betrayed him. And the emperor could not see any of these and happily go about his rule and thinking they were the best talents and most trustworthy people to have around him.
What such a state is rich, it is like a ripe durian, it will just fall. All parties must come to an end.

RB, such a response from YEW was kind of expected.
However, "cobra" comes in many forms.
How about those that are "SUPER" venomous?
They are out to send YEW to see "geckko" with just one "bite" ?
Isn't that "VERY EVIL "?
Likely these are totally different "species" from those that shelter Buddha during his meditation?
Ya lah. Got good and bad cobras. got good and evil. Cannot generalise.
Rb got Buddha heart(菩萨心肠); he is of the view that the Sin Leeders are misled by 小人s working under them. It is clearcut that these 小人s are selected by the Leeders to help in all the Schemes.

//Ya lah. Got good and bad cobras. got good and evil. Cannot generalise.//
Tiok Rb.
But the good "cobra" that formed a shelter above Buddha might have become EXTINCT?
Those in existence now are the "bad ones"?
No?
Who dun believe want to try put 7 "cobra" behind their back like Buddha see whether the "7 cobra " will form a shelter or "take a bite each on YEWR juicy flesh on your neck and shoulder?
Anybody "VERY STUBBORN, TI KEY, METAL TEETH " and dun believe cobra now very "venomous, evil and dangerous " and still want to try, PLS KEE CHIU?
You people make RB work so hard, got buy him kopi or not?
"Reincarnation Truth shall set Tibetans Free."
Nothing is free. Freedom is a myth. We all live in a world full of boundaries and liabilities.
