The Glade 4.0

Why I fist bumped the Dalai Lama

More proof of the Dalai Lama's ineffable coolness.

Holy shitsnacks!

That's cool.

I saw the Dalai Lama speak a number of years ago at the U of M. He was a great speaker and is a truly amazing individual.

Hell yeah!

Cool article! Not at all what I expected from the thread title.

Heh. Me too. I thought Arafys' perversion had sunk to a new low.

Ditto, all I could think of was an acquaintance in college (who loved the movie Caligula) got ahold of his account!

The Dalai Lama has it together.

He also is one wise man.

A man like him makes me feel like looking into religion again. Of course, I've never practiced buddhism, and still think reincarnation is bullshit, but the DL is good marketing, because anyone can respect and admire him. (Except the Chinese government, I guess.)
