The Dalai Lama is one of the few public figures who I desire to meet. He is truly a great man!

Is that really the guy — praying to Jesus?!

that’s him

"Robed and in choir" makes it sound like the Dalai Lama was wearing a (Catholic) priest's choir dress. He wasn't. As the pictures show, he was wearing his normal clothing and in a choir stall. And it doesn't sound like he received communion.

IMO, nobody should be scandalized.

[A.A. Cunningham]

nobody should be scandalized.

Except those noticing what appears to be a female altar server wearing a cassock and surplice.

Is this the man who met with Richard Halliburton in the 1930s and Lowell Thomas in the 1950s?

We hold up in pray the dalai lama to our Lord Jesus Christ for Him to see you Father through your Son. Also for him to become a firm believer in Jesus as the Only True God to True God. So he can worship and serve you! Praise Jesus! Amen!!

Big hitter, the Lama.

[Cronos]

for a Buddhist there is no harm in that — just as for a Hindu. A Hindu has a plethora of gods, so adding one more is no big deal. Buddhism ranges from athiesm (Theravada in Sri Lanka) to Tibetan Buddhism which has a plethora of gods.

Thank you for that info. I had not really considered his gesture in the context of their pantheism.
