SivaGanesha 2 #9 February 2, 2008 QuoteNope. I think that the Dalai Lama is one of the most amazing people I have ever seen though. I believe in reincarnation but I'm not the biggest fan of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama is trying to do two jobs--free Tibet from the Communist Chinese, and serve as the world leader of Buddhism. The problem is that both jobs are full time jobs. By trying to play two different roles, he isn't doing either role especially well IMHO. The Dalai Lama should look to the example set by the late Pope John Paul II. John Paul led the RC church but he had the wisdom to leave freeing Poland from the Communists--another fulltime job--for the most part to Lech Walesa."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am absolutely not informed on what his politics are. I just saw him speak in Zürich and he seriously was amazing even when he wasn't speaking. The pope on the other hand wasn't such a blast I thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want this to go to SC, but I am curious how many people believe in this idea, and if there was any scientific evidence for it. Would be nice. 'bout as much scientific evidence as there is for any other religious dogma. The one thing about reincarnation--even though I do believe in it--is that unlike other religious dogmas, which cannot possibly ever be proven one way or the other, one can conceive of scientific evidence being discovered to prove reincarnation. I mean, if people have clear cut memories of events that took place in past lives that they cannot possibly have had any way to access in this life--but which others can verify in some way--that would be pretty strong evidence. That said, the Internet makes it easier and easier to gain detailed information about the past for a greater and greater segment of the world's population. Thus if someone who has lived their whole life in a remote corner of Paraguay comes forward with detailed information about their past life in Kansas, it would be hard to know that they didn't just Google a page about the past in Kansas. I still think, though, it is easier to find anecdotal evidence in favor of reincarnation. Unlike most religious dogma--which seems to concern either the unknown future or the distant, unverifiable, past--reincarnation concerns the relatively recent, verifiable, past."It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Paul led the RC church but he had the wisdom to leave freeing Poland from the Communists--another fulltime job--for the most part to Lech Walesa. Wow. I don't think I've ever heard anyone criticize the Dalai Lama before. I must say, having just (mindfully) consumed a pitcher of Sam Adams, I had to remember to pause and think before I just responded out of sheer emotion. Although there are a number of holes one could poke in your comparison to the Pope, you do make an interesting point. I can only imagine that, all things being equal -which they're not- the Dalai Lama would be more than ready to hand over the reigns of Tibetan liberation if and when his "Lech Walesa" emerges. As an aside: one could also argue that the Chinese rape of the country and culture are, ironically, the most fruitful thing ever to happen to the religion. But that's a discussion for another (life)time. (Don't reply to any of the above. I won't get into it.) As for the original question, I'm not sure. Maybe it's a semantic issue, but how do you measure the "possibility" of something that escapes any current scientific explanation and is basically a matter of faith?
