Have you heard of the great Indian Goof-Up, prior to the Chinese invasion of Tibet.?
There was a lot of Speculation that China might invade Tibet. So the Indian Strategists want didn't want to offend China, sent a Cleverly worded message to the indian Ambasador stating that he should convey the mesage to China, "India recognises China's Suzerainity over Tibet."
The Indian Ambasador in Beijing misunderstood the message. He made a public announcement that, "India recognises China's Sovereignty over Tibet.!"
The next day China marched into Tibet.

I don't mean to "blame the victim" but the Dalai Lama, I believe, is contributorily negligent in the holocaust that befell his people because:
1) had he known his history -- and most certainly recent history -- he would have known the coming disaster that living next to communists would mean and he could have taken or at least attempted to take remedial action...such as: allying himself with America (which he tried to do at the last minute but was too late) or arming his people.
2) he actually played footsies with Mao and actually thought that communism had parallels with Tibetan Buddhism and that they were to some degree compatible and that he could live with the communists. Big fat fucking mistake.
3) his misinterpretation and bastardization of the concept of non-violence directly led to his inability to adequately protect his people, their culture and their religion.
4) If he truly believed in non-violence as he claimed he did, why in heaven's name did he in fact attempt to garner the favor of America when the impending doom of Chinese Communist horror was imminent? Clue: the USA had the atomic bomb. Now, that's not very non-violent of him, is it?
