Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The stuff he tells to the world is very different from what he tells his own followers. Let's not forget that he comes from a very long tradition of repressive theocracy.
Show me one example, please. In my experience the message for his followers is absolutely the same. He speakes about Buddha, about kindness and wisdom and how to apply the Buddhas words in the modern world.
I have seen quite a few events now that he has held for Tibtain monks and nuns and that were provided with English subtitles. I see no different message there, than he has for his western audiences. Of course, there is a difference in how he speaks about things, but not what he is saying.
Worse then raping children and a "god given" mandate to colonize and exploit the world? Just saying that most religions are like this
Yeah it's not like he's asking little boys to suck on his tongue or anything...
Oh. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/10/1168962589/dalai-lama-apologizes-tongue-kiss
Worse than systematic rape within the Catholic church? No offence but I remember this situation and is this all you have? I follow the law of atleast three instances before thinking about patterns (unless the previous 2 are atrocious) this wasn't atrocious, this is silly and weird but also this is fucking Tibet not london. White ignorant ass making wild assumptions over seemingly minor stuff
You sure this is the hill you want to die on? Defending a religious leader who has already admitted to pedophilic behavior?
Why do you think I'm defending other religions?
And no, it's not minor, and it's kind of telling that you're wiling to ignore it so easily. Would it be minor if it was your child? It's absolutely atrocious, and unacceptable no matter where you reside on the planet.
Buddy it seems like between the two of us. You're the one out of sources. You're really digging into this one thing. Is that all you have and yet have the gall to talk about a hill to die on?
I'm not defending the dali liama, but i am saying you lack any Nuance or any knowledge on the topic and this conversation is proof of that.
Not everybody on earth acts like a European/American. Believe it or not, not every culture Is as sex obsessed. You can be hugged and kissed by people you share absolutely no blood to in many Asian cultures (coming from an Asian) and the nuances are long and varied, longer than I can be bothered to write but it you had any willingness to learn, you would and could, but that's asking too much.
So I ask again, you say pedophilic behaviour, a pedo is someone who is sexually attracted to kids. I'll ask again, did the Dali liama fuck a child or say publically he wants to fuck children? Even on Lemmy it seems critical debate is a dying breed
The dude sucked a child's tongue. It's fucking disgusting that you're defending that. There is no nuance there, sorry.
Correct. There is no nuance in your statement. At all.
First nuance of what you insisted happened that it... Didn't actually happen
Second nuance that its ABSOLUTELY a pedophilic thing to do... It wasn't and again, it didn't happen.
From the same article you just linked. You really aren't proving your case well and instead flalling and getting emotional. You need to touch some grass and maybe read the articles or up on whatever you're blathering about?
I can't be bothered finding any more articles, but I'm looking at how the thread is going and its not currently in your favour, let's stop it here
