Well, I saw the Dalai Lama once in Paris, and after meeting with him I walked outside and there were protesters there who had been paid to protest by the Chinese embassy in Paris. ( Really! Made the news in the Paris papers when they found out that that each of the protesters had been paid more than the police who had been called in to watch them. ) I kicked the shit out of all of them. Things were much more peaceful then. So I guess that "pacification" works because I wasn't the least bit angry as I wailed on their asses. ( Not really. We pacified Buddhists live by a variant of Orson Welles' old credo: "We shall kick no ass before its time." It wasn't their time. ) > P.S. > Deli Lama: A sandwich. Ahhhh...very good, Grasshopper. Now, to see whether you have learned enough to leave the monastery, does the sandwich contain meat or not?
