The Dalai Lama teaches Forbearance along with the attempt at Brotherhood. But why does he fail at success in improving tolerance between families at diagrammatically differing ideas for solving the economic and political disgrace in the world today? It would be simple to revere the success that is accomplished by the customs and silent nature habits being brought to similar blood in one another's souls, because the same humanities are taught at school.


But to understand how children get along is to understand that the interpretations of disclosure for Knowledge are ignored sensibility in theirs rather O.P.'s jargon. Take the B.P, ambition of accepted blame. I don't believe that the Dalai Lama could accept that. People have to ignore the property demands and decide to work together on the simple fact of the oil spill.

I believe that's what the Dalai says.

I have no clear picture of what you were trying to say, but the Dalai Lama hardly has enough influence to change anything on a global scale.

Default I gets it, yezz I duz!

What, it's not obvious? Why...

The Dalai Llama for BP's CEO of course!

(In the unbreeding of classless speculation about the lesser trials of the unborn but leaking granite personalities! Obviously.)

What were you trying to say. Perhaps you could try again, without assuming we know what you are thinking?

Just based on your subject line, I will offer that one's "truth" is subject to one's view of reality. I have yet to meet two people who share a reality. That is why one must practice forbearance.

Forbearance, by the way, is defined as: refraining from the enforcement of something (as a debt, right, or obligation) that is due. Synonyms are: patience and leniency.

As far as I can tell, the Dalai Lama is a living example of the term, and you may have chosen the wrong word to convey your meaning.

I believe what the dalai Lama says is that This is the way to enlightenment and That is a matter for the world.

What else do any religions say?

I get the feeling you, the OP, are responding to a news story or a quote he said recently about something. (The recession? the oil spill?) The problem is I think many of us don't know what that quote or story is and you don't give us much to go on. So it's a bit like walking in the middle of a conversation.

Tibetan Buddhism only represents a few million people, most of them fairly poor or politically powerless, and the ability for Nobel Peace Prize winners to actually effect dramatic change varies or is just debatable. (As much as I admire/support her Aung San Suu Kyi has not exactly managed to get peace or democracy to Burma. To go with winners I don't admire or support the record of actual change might be even weaker)

Good point. I looked at the Dalai lama and saw he'd been on a panel recently and made various remarks which frankly didn't impress me as monumental wisdom. Nothing that struck me as a gaffe such as would make him wrong or untrue so as to leave the way clear for other religious claimants.

History is agreed upon; and to that there was the recent one, and the long term. Might find my way back to the main stream guys.
