Seemed like cognitive decline to me when he did that. My grandma started making rape allegations near her end and saying absolutely unhinged sexual nonsense.

I tend to agree. The man has worked all his live to bring Buddhism closer to the West and this was the single worst thing he did and, very likley, be the one thing that people will remember first.

After years and years of build relationships and beeing seen as a wildes positive figure. Bit of a shame, what he has to say is valid and important, at least in my opinion. But alas, this was a fucking Desaster for him. And I very much don't think he's a pedophile. But in this day and age, with all this hyper sexualisierted westerners, with its complete lack of nuance and social media, it was the worst thing he could have done. China will have done everything to amplify the message to, which for sure doesn't help.

The man is a CIA stooge who hasn't done anything productive in his life. He's the closest you could get to an exiled Marie Antoinette crying about the rights of French people being oppressed after they kicked her out. He wants to bring back feudalism and essentially slavery to Tibet because he would be part of the few nobles reaping all the benefits.

Hey Reddit, please keep your shitposters to yourself. We only want the API/Luigi crowd on Lemmy.

Maybe it was just something she never spoke on when she was not in decline. So many women choose not to speak out because they are revictimized and tried in the court of public opinion forever.

ETA: I'm not saying anything about the Dalai Lama, but about women.

I mean she made a new rape allegation every single day, sometimes the accused was a real person. It was horrible and an ethical nightmare.

[-] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

I misunderstood. I interpreted it as in her past.

[-] misteloct@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Heck for context, some of her allegations were real, sometimes she believed it was a different year. Anyways dementia is fucking horrible. I'd assume the best about the Dalai Lama.

wanted to say the same, that behavior just screams loss of inhibition because of frontal brain matter loss a.k.a. dementia
