Cool, good luck with that demand.
Feck off
Thoroughly
With utter disregard, bordering on contempt, for biology and physics.
I don't think the Chinese government really gets Buddhism.
Oh they get it, they just know that the Tibetan form, which involves venerating a Tibetan individual higher than the Han Chinese ethnostate, is a threat.
I’m sure he’ll consider their demand thoroughly, and with compassion.
Didn't China like hijack the future Dalai Lamas for political reasons or some shit?
Yes, they literally kidnapped a 7 year old child and continue to hold him hostage, over religious woo they do not officially believe in.
They made reincarnation a crime so they can arrest anyone who claims to have done so.
I didn't realize this was an option. I'm going to start putting together a similar letter for the pope.
To be like their own? Uh-huh. Because they're so well known for the compassion and understanding. 🤣 🪷☸️📿🤲🙇
Let's do a check in with Tibet and also the Uyghurs.. Or their own people.. Or Taiwan.. Or..
Going to be real interesting the day China learns how to read the room.
If China can't read the room, it is the room's fault for being counter-revolutionary.
fuck off china, russia, syria, north korea shitlands
Which political views? Hmm?
Obviously the incorrect ones.
Tibet is part of China and brooks no interference from external forces.
I'd like to see Putins face when the Chinese start say things like "Russia is part of China and brooks no interference from external forces."
He should definitely stop asking young children to suck his tongue
Tibetans told VICE World News that the meaning of this common expression used to tease and teach children is completely lost in cultural interpretation and its English translation. The correct phrase in Tibetan for this joke is “Che le sa”, which roughly translates to “Eat my tongue.” English is the Dalai Lama’s second language and Indian news outlets have previously reported that the leader speaks in broken English at public events.
[…]
In a Youtube video, Jigme Ugen, a second-generation Tibetan refugee living in the U.S., explains how this display of affection was born out of a game played between the Tibetan elderly and children. Kids who go up to their grandfather, for instance, are asked to kiss their grandfather’s forehead, touch their noses and kiss them.
“Then [the grandfather] says that I’ve given you everything so the only thing left is for you to eat my tongue,” Ugen said. “The child probably never gets the candy or money but gets a beautiful lesson about life, love and family.”
tl;dr: A harmless translation issue.
Wow, jealous much?
