Lots of sad, quiet monks.

No, when he dies you're supposed to giggle and tickle. It's different.

It will be very political what with China trying to pick the new one.

It'll be won't be Pope style craziness, but for a couple of news cycles you'll seen non-Fox News folks go on about him.

It depends on if he SINGLE-HANDEDLY BRINGS DOWN CHINESE COMMUNISM.

The Dalai Lama doesn't die, he just keeps recycling himself until all sentient beings are enlightened.

I love the episode of "King of the Hill" where it is suspected that Bobby may be a reincarnated lama.

Someone photoshop Dan Perry's head onto the dalai lama's body pls

(Also, last night I was think I'd like to see a photoshop photo of the late pope with an eye-patch.)

What do you mean? Well, there is that supposedly demon-oriented sect within Tibetan Buddhism that seems to have some conflicts with the Dalai Lama. So whoever the leader of that is, maybe. . . I can't remember the names. It all sounded very political.

that chubby fellow is one the many (self-declared) anti-popes (he's one of the gregories, in fact)

i wondered if there were any self-declared alternative DLs: eg ppl saying "he is not the real DL, i am!"

This explains some of it (from one party in the conflict, obviously): http://www.cesnur.org/testi/fr99/gkg2.htm

― RS £aRue (rockist_scientist), Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

That was x-post. I don't know of anyone with conflicting claims to the position of Dalai Lama. (Doubtless, someone is out there.)

I really rather think you need to share more information about him.

Dalai Lama, battling exhaustion, cancels trips

By ASHWINI BHATIA, Associated Press Writer 41 minutes ago

DHARMSALA, India - The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, was suffering from exhaustion and has canceled two planned international trips to undergo medical tests, his office said Wednesday.

The 73-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner had been "experiencing some discomfort in the past couple of days," a statement from his office said, adding that his doctors had diagnosed "exhaustion."

Patient: I am dead tired all the time. What's wrong, doc?
Physician: You are exhausted.
Patient: Hoorah! With your acute diagnosis I am halfway to being cured!
