Is Dalai Lama Marxist?
The 14th Dalai Lama has always dubbed himself as a Marxist, but is he really a Marxist?
In some way, he is a Marxist for he seems to have mastered dialectics so well.
For the self-immolations, the Dalai Lama has so far remained silent, offering them neither support nor condemnation. "If I say anything negative, then their families will feel very sad," he says. "Of course, I cannot say this is good. So I remain silent."
Even foreigners cannot stand his ambiguous attitude. Stephen Prothero, a religion scholar from Boston University and also a regular contributor of CNN Belief Blog , wrote an article titled My Take: Dalai Lama should condemn Tibetan self-immolations on July 12, 2012. In this article he said that when asked about self-immolations, "the Dalai Lama has offered the response of no response."
In this way the Dalai Lama attempts to escape his own responsibility.
To be a qualified Marxist, one needs to seek truth from facts without lies. The Dalai Lama likes to tell the public what he imagines instead of what has really happened.
In May, the Dalai Lama claimed that China was to send Tibetan women disguised as Buddhist followers to coat poison in their hair and to cheat him to touch it.
"We received some sort of information from Tibet," the Dalai Lama told Britain's Sunday Telegraph in an interview. "Some Chinese agents training some Tibetans, especially women, you see, using poison — the hair poisoned, and the scarf poisoned — they were supposed to seek blessing from me, and my hand touch."
Those are really like words of a neurotic rather than a so-called master.
When this alleged plot to harm the Dalai Lama is described to American forensic toxicologist John Trestrail, he said he could think of no poison that would function in the way the Dalai Lama described.
"I think that would be pretty slim and far between," he says. He mentally runs through his database of poisoning incidents — about 1,200, he says — but comes up short.
This gimmick brought about much mockery from the international media and netizens as well.
"JoeAlpha100”, netizen of Reuters wrote: Crazy? The return/risk will be higher to poison you 60 years ago than to do so now! Don’t be silly and dreaming that you are still as important as before.
Another Reuter netizen "Pterosaur" wrote: Dalai Lama, the monk that incites war and hatred, is a shame to Buddhism, is a tool to the West to destroy Asian unity.
A netizen of Telegraph "Darth" added: "The biggest sharks around Dalai Lama are his own lieutenants and camp followers.
So the 14th Dalai Lama violate the essential principle of Marxism: calling a spade a spade. Instead, he calls his illusion the reality.
So, do you still think the 14th Dalai Lama is a Marxist?
