Dalai Lama
Why do people care about the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Buddhists?
Even at my alma mater, there was a “Tulane Tibetan Club”… with no Tibetans!
I don’t understand the allure of Tibetan Buddhism and the Dalai Lama.
That place is so remote, most people probably couldn’t even find it on a map.
Plus, their lifestyles are so pastoral and nomadic… it’s nothing like us!
And unlike, say, the Palestinians, there’s basically NO Tibetan-American community to speak of!
So what’s the big allure with this guy and his Buddhist group?
Fad, or people are so entangled with technology that they seek a freedom from it all, and the inner peace the Buddhists often portray.
