Among all the titles, the "son of India" and "Marxist" are the 14th Dalai Lama's favorites, said a journalist who worked in India for six years at a culture salon last week.

We all can't agree more with that since it helps us understand how the Dalai Lama behaves to deserve the "fame".

First let us talk about the "son of India". The Dalai Lama deserves the name. He praises India's democracy and culture to flatter India, except for "selling" southern Lhoka to it. He is so good at acting that he is able to teach his believers his political ideas in the sermon. 

How about the Dalai Lama as a "Marxist" then? He said that he had been a Marxist for many years and he was qualified for that than most Marxists in the world. What's interesting is that we've never heard that he had talked with or consulted other Marxists. He only labels himself as a Marxist, never asking about others' opinions, just as the way he regards himself as the “son of India”.

On May 7, a foreign student asked the Dalai Lama,"The core of Marxism is materialism, which should be opposite to Buddhism that focuses on spiritual practice while ignoring material pursuit. How can you conciliate this conflict?"

The spiritual cultivation of Buddhist believers should be based on material to some extent, answered the Dalai Lama.

There is something deep and tricky about "to some extent". How much can "some extent" reach? Evidently only the 14th Dalai Lama himself knows it clearly. But one point is definitely correct: it can't be too little.

A group of data published on the Internet came to my mind. In 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama owned 160,000 taels of gold, 95 million taels of silver, over 20,000 pieces of jewelry and jade articles, as well as more than 100 cloaks filled with pearls and precious stones worthy of thousands of yuan.

This is really funny. If the Dalai Lama really has a "Marxist" heart, he must feel embarrassed to be so rich while leaving the rest of a million Tibetans following him in extreme poverty. Even he doesn't think those fellow Tibetans deserve help, at least he can use the money to save other poor people.

Unfortunately, others do not deserve it, either. Instead, they have to offer money to this old lama to take planes, wear Gucci shoes made in Italy and travel around the world. The poor people dare not refuse to do so, worrying that he must not give them a happy next life. 

A netizen nicknamed "meddler" raised a question: How much money does this old lama need to spend to keep his standard "merciful face" in a whole year, and how much does he put the money to realize his "little hope" of bringing his fellow Tibetans a good life?  Does this old lama, who claims everywhere that "all flesh is equal", tell those Tibetans groveling before him that the cost of his Gucci shoes can actually support their whole families for years?

If someone does ask a question like this, it is sure that the old lama will shift to his another childlike, innocent and honest face, looking like he is the weak. 

Those who are interested in this can spend some time studying his face. Maybe one day you can get an amazing discovery, or even obtain the Nobel Prize! It would be really hilarious to take a picture with the Dalai Lama holding the award on the stage!
