Dalai Lama silent on monk self-immolationsBy Richard Allen Greene LONDON (CNN) - The Dalai Lama refused to answer a question Monday about whether Tibetan monks should stop setting themselves on fire to protest China's occupation of Tibet. "No answer," he said, saying it was a sensitive political question and that he had retired from politics. He handed over political leadership of the Tibetan community to an elected prime minister last year. Self-immolation is becoming an increasingly common form of protest for Tibetans who want genuine autonomy from China and accuse Beijing of repression. More than 30 of them took place in the last year in China, Tibetan advocacy groups say. The Dalai Lama was speaking in London, where he is accepting the Templeton Prize, an award worth £1.1 million ($1.74 million) which honors "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality." The Dalai Lama will give $1.5 million to the aid organization Save the Children, he said. He is giving another $200,000 of the prize money to the Mind & Life Institute, and $75,000 to his own monastic community. FULL STORY

This is my experience... Thank you.
MY personal testimony.
A thought to consider without an ego response
Accept Jesus christ as your lord and saviour. You never know how soon is too late. Transcend the worldly illusion of enslavement.
The world denounces truth....
Accepting Jesus Christ (for me) resulted in something like seeng a new colour. You will see it .....but will not be able to clearly explain it to anyone else..... Its meant to be that way to transend any selfism within you.
Also... much the world arranges "surrounding dark matter into something to be debated" in such a way that protects/inflates the ego.
The key is be present and transcend our own desire to physically see evidence. We don't know anyways by defending our own perception of dark matter.
Currently.... most of us are constructing our own path that suits our sin lifestyle. Were all sinners. Knowing that we are is often an issue. But both christians and non are sinners.
We don't like to Let go and let god. We want control to some degree. This is what Jesus asks us to do. "Follow me".
It's the hardest thing to do... but is done by letting the truth of scripture lead you (redemptive revelation)... as I said .
Try reading corinthians and see if it makes sense to you. Try it without a pre conceived notion of it being a fairy tale.
See the truth...
do we do what it says in todays society... is it relevant... so many have not recently read and only hinge their philosophy on what they have heard from som other person...which may have been full of arogance pride or vanity..
Look closely at the economy ponzi, look at how society idolizes Lust , greed , envy, sloth, pride of life, desire for knowledge, desire for power, desire for revencge,gluttony with food etc .
Trancsend the temporal world.
Just think if you can find any truth you can take with you ....in any of these things. When you die your riches go to someone who will spend away your life..... You will be forgotten.... history will repeat iteslf.... the greatest minds knowledge fade or are eventually plagerzed..... your good deeds will be forgotten and only give you a fleeting temporary reward . your learned teachings are forgotten or mutated..... your gold is transfered back to the rullers that rule you through deception. Your grave will grow over . This is truth .
Trancsend your egoism and free yourself from this dominion of satan. Understand you are a sinner and part of the collective problem of this worldly matrix... Repent.... Repent means knowing (to change) The Holy spirit (within) will convict you beyond what you think you can do by yourself. Grace is given to those who renounce the world. That are" in" the world but not "of " the world.
Evidence follows faith. Faith does not follow evidence..... Faith above reason in Jesus Christ.
Faith comes by Reading or Hearing the word of god from the bible . Ask Jesus in faith for dicernment and start reading the new testament... You will be shocked when you lay down your preconceived notions and ....see and hear truth ... see how christ sets an example ... feel the truth....
Read Ecclesiastes. Read corinthians.
You cant trancend your own egoism by adapting a world philosophy to suit your needs. Seek the truth in Christ.
Sell all your cleverness and purchase true bewilderment. You don't get what you want ....you get what you are in christ.
I promise this has been the truth for me. In Jesus christ .
Think of what you really have to lose. ...your ego?
Break the Matrix of illusion that holds your senses captive.
once you do . you too will have the wisdom of God that comes only through the Holy Spirit. Saved By grace through Faith. Just like seeing a new colour.... can't explain it to a transient caught in the matrix of worldly deception.
You will also see how the world suppresses this information and distorts it
You're all smart people . I tell the truth. Its hard to think out of the box when earthly thinking is the box.
I'ts a personal free experience you can do it free anytime . Don't wait till you are about to die.. START PUTTING YOUR TREASURES WHERE THEY REALLY MATTER >
Its awsome and It's just between you and Jesus
my testimony
Romans 10:9
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved

Wow..
One of the scariest things about this country is that in the 21st century there are still people walking around with the mentality the likes of WWJD's 😐
I'm glad I've at least moved to another state where their presence is a good amount less.
I just found out the Dalai Lama loves George Bush. That took me by surprise. I will never again look at him the same way. Talking about bizarre......
"protests from Tibetans"
would that be your average peasant, or is it really just the clergy and royals who got their feudal system taken away.
when did jesus say "Be unlike me in every way. If you run into people who think differently than you do think to yourself WWJD and then do the exact opposite"
you are as unchristian as those you would insult
WWJD? Not act like an as$hole who posted a bunch of lies. Your god does not exist and has no power, you are a turd just like your god.
GET AN EARLY START ON COOKING, SATANISTS AND ATHEISTS.

ATHEISTS AND BUDDHISTS ARE ALL EVIL IN THE EYES OF JESUS AND WILL BURN. I GUESS SETTING YOURSELVES ON FIRE IS JUST AN EARLY START. GOOD RIDDANCE.
STFU – I'm sure God appreciates you thinking you are equal to Him and passing judgement on everyone else who does not beive as you do. Way to lovingly lead people to your religion – m0r0n! Preaching all that fire & brimstone cr@p will get you nowhere fast.
Gee WWJD, you're an angry little puppy. Have a go at understanding multiple realities, it may be of some use to an angry little puppy. Make your life a little more simple, its much more fun !!
The Apostles' Creed 2011: (updated by yours truly and based on the studies of historians and theologians of the past 200 years)
Should I believe in a god whose existence cannot be proven
and said god if he/she/it exists resides in an unproven,
human-created, spirit state of bliss called heaven??
I believe there was a 1st century CE, Jewish, simple,
preacher-man who was conceived by a Jewish carpenter
named Joseph living in Nazareth and born of a young Jewish
girl named Mary. (Some say he was a mamzer.)
Jesus was summarily crucified for being a temple rabble-rouser by
the Roman troops in Jerusalem serving under Pontius Pilate,
He was buried in an unmarked grave and still lies
a-mouldering in the ground somewhere outside of
Jerusalem.
Said Jesus' story was embellished and "mythicized" by
many semi-fiction writers. A descent into Hell, a bodily resurrection
and ascension stories were promulgated to compete with the
Caesar myths. Said stories were so popular that they
grew into a religion known today as Catholicism/Christianity
and featuring dark-age, daily wine to blood and bread to body rituals
called the eucharistic sacrifice of the non-atoning Jesus.

I hope you enjoy BBQ. Bring some sauce. You're going to need it where the three of you are going.
Prayer works. Proven. Prayer heals. Hospitals maim. Buddhists are evil as satanist and they will pay with their souls in God's judgment and will taste his wrath for all of eternity. They have rejected the Lord and deserve what happens in the afterlife. The fires of hell will boil there flesh and I will watch from Heaven with a smile because I will feel no pain and I will never cry in Heaven. You atheists torture Christians and you mock us. You will be mocked as you grind your teeth so hard that they break from the agony you will reap for your sins in this life. It is written for all of eternity. You will be denied entry into Heaven and will never see the streets of gold that have been prepared for the righteous. You don't deserve to see them and I'm thankful that I do and I will.
Demons are going to feast on your charred flesh in HELL and if you repent, then Jesus may save you. But atheists are the worst of the worst because they say the worst things about Jesus. They deserve to burn in the hottest fires hotter than the fires hitler is burning in.
Makes one wonder what happened to "Judge not lest ye be judged", doesn't it?
