Hello community! This is your mastermind speaking...
To the cheers of monks and onlookers, we have all witnessed the Dalai Lama kissing a youngster and encouraging him to put his tongue in his mouth. I don't want to be a moralist, especially in the case of a sect leader who pays close attention to children because they might reveal to the oceanic wisdom a clear indication that the current Dalai Lama is his reincarnation; as the eye of the needle of an alleged movement for Tibetan freedom, complete with a constitution kept in India and Hollywood testimonials, I am more interested in analyzing how the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, who is utterly marginal within this culture/religion, has been transformed by American administrations into a sort of colorful pope to be carried around and displayed on any occasion a pinch of self-styled spirituality is deemed appropriate. One of the earliest geopolitical falsehoods of the Cold War, it was the first instance of media guerilla warfare used by the US against Mao's China. The monks have long exerted an unctuously and hierarchically dictatorial rule in Tibet, a country whose borders are unclear and which has been regarded as a province of the Celestial Empire since the seventeenth century. Fable, if you will, that this Dalai Lama wrote after the war, we can plainly see that it has nothing to do with freedom and democracy but rather with an absolute and antiquated theocratic society where the monastic orders hold all the authority and the succession is determined by the Lamas' incarnations.
Although the vast majority of people in Tibet are Chinese, this context has never come up, and we have instead chosen to despise China for allegedly occupying the region. We have neglected to mention that in the 18th century, it was actually Chinese forces that defeated British forces that wanted to take control of the area. In other words, there is a legitimacy in China that was disrupted by the events of the fall of the empire and then by the conflict between Mao and the warlords, which was a manifestation of the enormous peasant masses in China. It is undoubtedly no coincidence that all of the US and British instigated protests that have taken place in Tibet in the post war era have featured monks as the main protagonists, despite the fact that the majority of the population, including Tibetans, looked to Beijing as a source of economic advancement. Due to the fact that investments, railways, and roads have brought a little life back to the top of the world, even the monks' occasional protest actions that are misrepresented as a spontaneous movement of the Tibetan population have been extraneous to these representations for at least twenty years and openly hostile to them. However, even this obviousness is banned to Westerners who have spent the last 230 years eating a bland anti-Chinese soup.
The question naturally arises as to how it was possible for the head of a small Buddhist sect that is isolated among the world's highest mountains and is largely unaffected by Western influences to agree to act as the straw that breaks the American empire's back by taking on the role of the head of a phantom.
Fighting against a government that declares itself to be atheist, even if it does not do anything to stop the numerous cults that exist on its territory, would be one thing, and it would even be understandable for monks and the religious apparatus to fight to regain their privileges, but accepting to be the target of anti-Chinese imperialist propaganda is quite another, as it merely represents a change of master, which further distinguishes the political and social opposition. This was made possible, in any event, since the XIV Dalai Lama, who was born in Chinese territory, had his training under the guidance of a well-known figure at the end of the 1930s, Austrian climber Heinrich Harrer. On the eve of the war, this person was a member of a German expedition to Kashmir.
After escaping from jail, he made his way to Tibet, where he worked as the government's official photographer, interpreter, and teacher for the Dalai Lama, teaching him geography, English, and the basics of various sciences. He didn't go until 1950, following the Chinese return, and he wrote about his experiences in the book Seven Years in Tibet.
Perhaps it will surprise some people to find that Harrer was a member of the Austrian SA prior to Hitler's Anschluss but joined the SS right away when Germany and Austria merged, or that Himmler orchestrated and desired the Kashmir mission for propaganda purposes. In summary, this is the area of the West that the present Dalai Lama has interacted with, and it's possible that he has made himself a priest of American exceptionalism and imperialism as a result. And who knows, perhaps he craves inappropriate encounters with an innocence that has been lost for too long after failing to achieve knowledge.
Don't believe the lies! The truth sets us free! Have a good day !
