he seems like a reasonable guy

I think my main grip about Religion is it is Manipulation, Control and Slavery into a Capitalistic World. I almost agree and like Dalai Lama, but for us to get too Altruistic, this again starts to seem like Manipulation, Control and Slavery into a Capitalistic World. Sounds almost like We have to give up everything being Who We Are. Other wise trying to be as Equal to everything is what I agree with.

Tenzin Gyatso is a religious leader who seems from what I've read to be a relatively passive individual. I can't claim anything he's done that I would consider as being negative, but I can't claim to have researched it all that much.

seems like a cool and level headed guy
