He’s also not pro-Tibetan independence FYI, he openly says Tibet should remain part of China and the Lamas should only serve religious functions not political ones.
Okay, I’m remember half this shit from an article some dude on the old sub linked me to, and that was like 6 months before it got nuked so it’s been a while.
But yeah made it sound like he recognized the fucked up nature of the old system and had no interest in reestablishing the theocracy. But I may be remembering shit wrong.
I’ll have to try and dig it up when I’m off work. It was a while ago but if I remember correctly he pretty much said he has no interest in resuming political authority, he just wants more autonomy for Tibet but is fine with it ultimately staying part of China.
Is this the same Dali Lama as in Mao's time? Cause he's gotta be old as heck.
I think he was like, 11 when he fled Tibet.

I could be wrong but he was probably a kid back then when he became the Dalai Lama lol.
Right, right, I remember now, they look for a child reincarnation when the old one dies.
