The inexcusable gesture of the Dalai Lama trying to tongue kiss a boy

Scroll down to read the last updates! 

I have never imagined that one day I will write something against the Dalai Lama, and believe me that I find no joy doing it now. Whenever I heard somebody criticizing him I used to point out his good parts, especially his contribution to the salvation of the Tibetan schools in exile, the printing and spreading of various useful books, etc. However, what I saw today shocked me and disgusted me so much that I realized keeping silence would make me an accomplice to something terribly evil.

 

Here is what happened! Please watch this video carefully for at least ten times, as I myself did,

 

 

 Yes, dear friends, the Dalai Lama is kissing a child on his mouth, then he says “suck my tongue” and approaches him in a perverse manner with his tongue out of his mouth!

 

I repeat and you can see this clearly in the video -  the Dalai Lama kissed a child on his mouth, said “suck my tongue” and approached him with his tongue out of his mouth! During this time, he laughed accompanied by a bunch of irresponsible adults, nobody having the guts to simply stop him and take the child out of there!

 

I cannot stop asking myself - was everyone there out of their minds??? How can this be justified in any way, by cultural differences or by saying it was a joke?  How can somebody find any excuses to an old man kissing a child on his mouth and telling him “suck my tongue”! These words are clearly audible in the video and everything is authentic. How can a sane adult make such a joke to a child!

There is a limit, a red line that an adult must never cross it and unfortunately the Dalai Lama has just crossed it. Please tell me honestly, what kind of parent would allow an adult to say to his child “suck my tongue” and approach him with his tongue out of his mouth? How can some still refuse to see the clear truth and deny this abomination?

 

Dear Dharma friends, this is NOT normal! Dear Lamas in the Gelugpa school of Buddhism or those of you who are close to him from other schools, including the Karmapa, the head of Sakya and Nyngmapa, wake up and tell the Dalai Lama that he was wrong! Tell him to issue an apology letter, then retire and never appear in public if he is not in his right mind!

 

Many nonbuddhists regard the Dalai Lama as the public face of Buddhism. Of course, this is FALSE because he actually represents only one school of Tibetan Buddhism – the Gelugpas. However, this behavior places a very bad image on Buddhism and I saw too many people today drawing false conclusions about Buddhists and especially about Tibetan Buddhism.

Some honest questions naturally come about after this shocking scene:

 

1) Is Dalai Lama a pervert attracted to children because on that day he really acted like one.

 

2) If he did that in public and laughed like there was no problem, how do we know he does not do more to children in his private life? Child sexual abuse was mentioned by the young Kalu Rinpoche (click here), so things like this really happened. Don’t get insulted here! Yes, I know it’s the Dalai Lama so how can I ask myself such a thing, but he raised the head of that kid, kissed him on his mouth and told him “suck my tongue”! If he did it now, how can we know this was the first time?

 

3) Is the Dalai Lama suffering from some kind of mental illness due to advance old age? If this is true, then why nobody dares to ask him to retire and spend the last days of his life in some kind of spiritual retreat. Also, if he suffers from mental illness then how can he be a Bodhisattva or Avalokitesvara himself? A Bodhisattva must have a very clear and sharp mind.

 

4) How can he be a true tulku/reincarnated Bodhisattva/manifestation of Avalokitesvara/, if he behaves like that? What kind of “crazy wisdom” or compassion is to try to put his tongue in a child’s mouth? I repeat – A CHILD! How can a realized Master say “suck my tongue” to a child!!!

 

I am not an example of morality, and I am not trying to impose high moral standards to nowadays teachers and masters, especially that we live in the Last Dharma Age (Mappo) when the spiritual capacities of beings are extremely low. Thus, I would not be shocked if I heard that the Dalai Lama was filmed while drinking votca, for example, or partying all night, but doing sexual gestures to a child is UNFORGIVABLE. As I said, there is a red line for any normal human being and that is represented by children! Nobody is allowed to sexualize and touch children in an inappropriate manner.

 

As a devotee of Amida Buddha in this Last Dharma Age, I am happy that my salvation does not depend on a human guru or Master. Those who laughed at the disgusting pedophile gestures of the Dalai Lama or who try to excuse them are unable to accept that they and their idol are just ordinary people filled with blind passions in desperate need of medical care and Amida’s salvation.

 

Far from me to deny the great Masters of the past from the Vajrayana tradition or some really good contemporary teachers as I myself am greatly inspired by them when I write about general Buddhist teachings, so I hope this article is not wrongly understood as a critique of the whole Tibetan Buddhism. I’m simply trying to raise the alarm on this case because such a gesture is doing harm to the image of Buddhism in general, especially if we put the dirt under the carpet and pretend that nothing happened.

 

Respectfully yours in Namo Amida Bu,

 

Josho

UPDATE: The so-called apology by the Dalai Lama:

A few hours ago, after the video has gone viral, the Dalai Lama issued the following statement of so-called apology: 

“A video clip has been circulating that shows a recent meeting when a young boy asked His Holiness the Dalai Lama if he could give him a hug. His Holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused.

His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident”. 

The statement is not sincere for a few reasons:

It starts by manipulating the feelings of the readers and trying to change their attention to the child who wanted to hug the Dalai Lama. The child loves the Dalai Lama and the Dalai Lama just innocently played with him because this is who the Dalai Lama is, a teasing, innocent, playful person. Thus, according to this statement, if the Dalai Lama hurt the child and shocked any normal parent or human with his gestures it was only because the Dalai Lama did not realize that his innocent words and play might be wrongly misinterpreted. 

NO, dear Dalai Lama, what you did was not because you often like to “tease people in an innocent and playful way” but because you are a pervert. Playful and innocent old men do not stick their tongue out and say “suck my tongue” to children. Playful and innocent old men and especially spiritual leaders who are considered to be tulkus and manifestations of Avalokitesvara cand find other ways, gestures and words to tease children. 

Also, the fact that you did that in public does not prove your innocence. You did it because you are used to live surrounded by a flock of subservient sheep that laugh at any joke you make and approve anything you say. You did it because a person like you with so much power and influence over many got relaxed in showing his perverse feelings. You did those disgusting gestures and said those disgusting words simply because you could not resist your pedophilic impulses. 

So, here is my advice: issue a more honest apology to yourself and the public, admit you are an ordinary person filled with illusions and blind passions, including sexual desires, who could not control his attraction to that child which promoted you to do those disgusting gestures and say those despicable words, then go into retirement for the rest of your life. 

Sincerely yours,

Josho, another stupid monk filled with illusions and blind passions

UPDATE: They say all is ok because the child and the mother do not complain...

These Tibetan leaders prove again how sick they are. Let me explain it to you again, dear savages, if an adult sticks his tongue out to a child and tells him "suck my tongue" and the child and mother say that all is ok, that does NOT change at all the guilt of the adult. The adult is still a pervert because of what he did. Also, that does NOT change the fact that such things should not be done and said to a CHILD!

Your tribal and feudalistic mentality which is not able to admit that such things should not be said and done to a CHILD, show how savages you are and that you haven't yet learned the karmic lessons that made you lose your country. Sticking to your feudal attitudes related to children is making even more people disgusted with you and more willing to expose the many sexual scandals with children and women about which the Dalai Lama knew but still endorsed with his presence and friendship the various perpetrators and sexual predators, like it is seen in this well documented video:

If you want to be accepted by civilized people, and not only by your fellow tribesmen, learn NOT to invoke old stories and customs to excuse an adult who says "suck my tongue" to a child. Learn that Tibet is NOT the whole world and that we are not obliged to accept your theory that the Dalai Lama is infallible or a Buddha. Learn to talk and behave well in your relation with the rest of the world because you are begging the world to support you in your cause.

No, we don't owe you any apology! You owe an apology to the world for not knowing how to behave with children and for not being able to admit the guilt of your spiritual boss! If your cult leader was indeed a Buddha he would know how to treat children and what consequences his gestures would have. Unfortunately for you, he is just an ordinary pervert.
Now sit down and suck a tongue.
