DALAI LAMA VISIT (1994)

During a visit to the Osho Commune in Pune, India, the Tibetan
spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, stopped in front of the white marble statue
of Buddha that graces the entrance to Buddha Hall---the commune's main meditation hall---and bowed down in reverence.

"You have a very beautiful place," he told the chancellor of the Osho multiversity, "it's like being in a forest. It is very peaceful.

On his tour around the commune , the Dalai Lama visited the commune book-store,
where he was surprised to see so many Osho books on Zen and received as a gift,
one of them, AND THE FLOWERS SHOWERED. He also received a copy of
MEDITATION: THE FIRST AND LAST FREEDOM.

On thanking his hosts at the end of his visit the Dalai Lama exclaimed, "It is very beautiful"

Also he said: "Osho is an enlightened master who is
working with all possibilities to help humanity
overcome a difficult phase in developing conciousness."

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Dalai Lama said Wednesday that the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan may have been justified to win a larger peace, but that is it too soon to judge whether the Iraq war was warranted.....

..... I am sorry to say that you are neither an honest peace broker nor a holy soul above dirty communal politics. You are playing the Hindutva game by resorting to tricks and bluffs in which it excels. You are an old pal of the RSS who has come forward to help it when all its tricks have failed. I would like to remind Your Holiness that your claim of neutrality on Babri mosque is the biggest hoax in living memory. You were part of the RSS buildup of early 1990s, which not only saw demolition of the mosque but spilling of blood of minority citizens throughout India. Let me remind you of an incident in 1992 when a street theater group tried to meet you in Kanpur to protest against your participation in the RSS (and its fronts) programmes which were being organized prior to the demolition of the Babri mosque. It was November 9, 1992, a day after you inaugurated the ABVP conference in Kanpur and less than a month before Babri mosque was demolished, that in your presence members of the Delhi-based street theatre group which happened to be performing in the city against communal mobilization was bashed up for daring to protest against your participation in the RSS build-up.....

Elites, Émigrés, and CIA Money

For the Tibetan upper class lamas and lords, the Communist intervention was a calamity. Most of them fled abroad, as did the Dalai Lama himself, who was assisted in his flight by the CIA. Some discovered to their horror that they would have to work for a living. Those feudal elites who remained in Tibet and decided to cooperate with the new regime faced difficult adjustments. Consider the following:

In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited the Central Institute of National Minorities in Beijing which trained various ethnic minorities for the civil service or prepared them for entrance into agricultural and medical schools. Of the 900 Tibetan students attending, most were runaway serfs and slaves. But about 100 were from privileged Tibetan families, sent by their parents so that they might win favorable posts in the new administration. The class divide between these two groups of students was all too evident. As the institute's director noted:

Those from noble families at first consider that in all ways they are superior. They resent having to carry their own suitcases, make their own beds, look after their own room. This, they think, is the task of slaves; they are insulted because we expect them to do this. Some never accept it but go home; others accept it at last. The serfs at first fear the others and cannot sit at ease in the same room. In the next stage they have less fear but still feel separate and cannot mix. Only after some time and considerable discussion do they reach the stage in which they mix easily as fellow students, criticizing and helping each other. [42]

The émigrés' plight won fulsome play in the West and substantial support from U.S. agencies dedicated to making the world safe for economic inequality. Throughout the 1960s the Tibetan exile community secretly pocketed $1.7 million a year from the CIA, according to documents released by the State Department in 1998. Once this fact was publicized, the Dalai Lama's organization itself issued a statement admitting that it had received millions of dollars from the CIA during the 1960s to send armed squads of exiles into Tibet to undermine the Maoist revolution. The Dalai Lama's annual share was $186,000, making him a paid agent of the CIA. Indian intelligence also financed him and other Tibetan exiles. [43] He has refused to say whether he or his brothers worked with the CIA. The agency has also declined to comment.

MY MESSAGE GOT ERASED SO HERE GOES AGAIN.

I AM NOT BUDDHIST ,DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANY ORGANIZED RELIGION,
THE DALAI LAMA IS 50% POLITICAL, AND 50% MYSTIC, AND HE CAN ONLY BE 100% OF EITHER. HE SEARCHES FOR ALIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD( THAT'S THE POLICTICAL WAY). I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CIA PAYROLL.
OSHO WAS AGAINST ALL ORGANIZED RELIGIONS ,ALL POLITICIANS, SO THE DALAI LAMA WENT IN 1994, OSHO HAD LEFT ALREADY HIS BODY IN 1990.,I FOUND THE NEWS INTERESTING THOUGH. NAIVELY NOT KNOWING ALL THAT YOU SHOW ME IN YOUR POST.

AT ANY RATE THE MASTER IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS, IN THIS CASE BUDDHA,
EVEN IF THE DALAI LAMA IS THE POPE OF BUDDHISTS, BUDDHA'S TEACHINGS ARE WHAT COUNT ONLY, MEDITATION, ONENESS. WHAT HE DOES OR DOES NOT DO, DOES NOT MATTER REALLY TO TRUE BUDDHISTS.

MASTERS ARE THE ONES THAT COUNT, NOT THOSE THAT FOLLOW THEIR ORGANIZED RELIGION, OR LEAD THEM.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION, I HAD NOT SEEN IT.

Hi I AM ALL I AM.

I must say, that as a former Buddhist of 15 years and a big fan of HH The Dalai Lama, I'm a bit shocked by these revelations

I think I've got a lot of re-evaluations coming up in my life

Thanks for posting this info.

Hi IAAIA

One thing I forgot to mention in the other post,
I do not believe everything written in the press,
and as we have chatted neither do you, so I
don't know if these can be considered as "facts""
I agree with you he should not have gone to
The White House and Accept Bush's decoration,
but I suppose that's his political part, "being in
good terms with everyone".

I wouldn´t be too quick to judge him, in fact I wouldn´t judge him at all.

"Nothing can hurt you, only you can hurt yourself"-BUDDHA


no judgement at all.
