Clash of the Enlightened Beings!
Our domestic enlightened being – and President – Barack Obama blames America first and endures anti-American diatribes (for all the bad stuff that happened before the New Age); and yet the Dalai Lama calls America a “Champion of Freedom”.
Who will prevail in this debate? My money is on the old man. He’s been reincarnated 13 times, you know? Besides, if the Obama White House can’t even neutralize the rhetoric of widely unpopular Dick Cheney, what chance does it have against the highly sympathetic Dalai Lama? I mean, it’s not like Hollywood can even give him the Miss California treatment. He’s the Dalai Lama, for Chi’s sake! Tibet’s spiritual leader!
Does it really take Buddhist wisdom to perceive American exceptionalism? Or is it that the Dalai Lama’s mentors didn’t feature any Buddhist monk equivalents of Reverend Wright?
