The Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and the 14th person to hold the title, made waves this week when he said his successor, if a woman, needs to be physically attractive.

No total consciousness on their deathbeds for them.
Some teachers of Zen and Buddhist faiths have been known to say or do shocking things just to shake the listener up and make them pay attention to the moment. Maybe that’s what he was attempting here, knowing full well the young lady reporter expected him to say pretty much the exact opposite.

Am I alone in thinking all male dalais lama should look like Bruno Mars??
The Lama wants to retire from his religious duties so he can spend more time playing golf.
The title implies he is banned on twitter, but i didn’t see anything like that in the body of article

These really are some very ugly people deep down inside....
Attractiveness will open doors, but you have to be able to follow through. AOC is prime example.
From which angle is AOC attractive? You must be kidding:)

At least if it is a pretty female, it will give the new age ladies an excuse to get posters of the chic in the various crystal healing new age stores.
DANG!

Maybe 20 years ago.

I'm sure the Dalai Lama is just heartbroken over 'woke' activists on Twitter engaging in their cringe-inducing canceled culture with him.

Neck down.
