Dalai Lama says Chinese hardliners have parts of brain missing
March 6, 2017
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese hardliners have parts of their brains missing, exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said in an interview aired this week, comments likely to infuriate Beijing, which views the Nobel Peace laureate as a dangerous separatist.
<snip>
Speaking to U.S. comedian John Oliver in India's northern town of Dharamsala, where the exiled Tibetan government is based, he also said he might be the last Dalai Lama.
<snip>
China says the tradition must continue and its officially atheist Communist leaders have the right to approve the Dalai Lama's successor, as a legacy inherited from China's emperors.
<snip>
Asked if he was worried China might appoint its own Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader said it would be foolish.
"Our brain usually, you see, has the ability to create common sense," he said. "The Chinese hardliners, in their brain, that part of the brain, is missing."

(35,296 posts)1. Hmm I think the Dalai Lama may be on to something there, could Dr. Ben Carson
be evidence of that?

Maybe that's why he's so confused about slavery.

mental condition that made him quit or senility?
