    And, why do JT and Kyodo list this news under 'Politics' if it's not? http://home.kyodo.co.jp/modules/fstCategory/index.php?cmenuid=2

    Or, is it?

    According to 47 News, the title is 幸せへ導く慈しみの心, which you must agree sounds more like 'A loving compassionate heart will lead us to happiness'.

    "sounds wonderful, better he should concentrate on 'spirituality' and forget about the politics, as China will never allow him to succeed."

    I agree completely. China is a souless spiritless dictatorship that will never recognize religous freedom much less the right of oppressed regions forcably taken by China to independence and selfdetermination.

    They use it compassionate mind, peace to a happy life instead of compassionate heart, peace to a happy life. Buddhist beliefs "seeking their true inner self" in practicing their minds to be enlighten. They said it had a lots of emotions out there when you used your heart. Like some opposites of the positives the negative emotions example :anger, jealousy, doubt, unhappiness, guilt and etc. They should detach from this feelings so that their mind cannot be clouded. In your mind, it is unlimited if you are enlighten you can do what ever you want and desire but just choose in the the light side not in the dark side. In the dark side, there will be a consequences. I hope I can go to Japan on November to hear this important "WISDOM".

    Xentrix. It was just a typing mistake by someone. Where it says 'peace' it should say 'leads'.

    Thank you for the explanation of the difference between heart and mind. The Japanese title uses the phrase 'Itsukushimi no kokoro' which means the kind of love that a parent would have for a child, with such a heart/mind towards life around us we can come to happiness in life. Perhaps the Dalai Lama feels such compassion and love for his own people... in his heart/mind...

    nandakandamanda, You're welcome, You're right. My religion is Christian, I am confused before too why they used mind instead of heart. But maybe some people's perception is the mind and the heart because when you will use both it is more powerful as long as you will choose the light side. In Japan, their religion is Shintoism a little bit different in Buddhism but I think their attainment or goal is the same like the Christians most principle goal is "to Love one another as do they love themselves" because in Japans religions their goal is a caring love, a kind of love that a parent would have for a child means great compassion, means the Love of the Gods. You can research "Shintoism" in google site.

    If it is possible, I would like to attend his lecture. I have heard his lecture in the US. He is wonderful man. I sincerely hope that you all attend there.

    He is really free man.

    He said I recommend you to do this "teaching compassion". Yet, if you do not like it, forget it! Everybody laughed,laughed. In fact, at the moment, I cried, cried, disappointed with my ignorance and attachment.

    Good luck, Japanese. You're really luck people!

    When the Dalai Lama was visiting the US West Coast, I was taken back at the latent support he had. The support is soooo entrenched, he would have to be a pivotal actor in US Foreign Policy. Did some high academic work on the situation in Southeast Asia in the 1970's, and that period is being rekindled by some powerful players. I also found out his status is still a live nerve locally.

    What I haven't studied is what his status is to the Japanese and the various ethnic groups therein. Wish I was still in high level academics to analyze it.

    The Dalai Lama seems like a nice man, but he's nothin' more than a fad in the US. -A querky, nice aberration.

    Dali mLamma was a puppet inside the western world just for propaganda purpose. That reminds us the last emperor of the Manchurian empire Pui Yei!

  • nandakandamanda at 10:56 AM JST - 26th July

    reddragonguy Whatever you or the Chinese government might like to say about the Dalai Lama, one thing he is definitely NOT is a puppet of the West. People and governments in the West listen to what he has to say, yes, and in many cases respect his words and thinking, but he follows an independent line. No-one tells him what he should say or do, or what is wrong or right for his people. That is his own fate, which no-one can set up for him, or alter in any way, even if many of those in the West cannot really understand why he does what he does.

    *reddragonguy *

    In my opinion, he is not a puppet of the west. Dalai Lama is really critical on the US foreign policy.

    In fact, given the huge and exclusive beneficiary of China in economy and politics, China is just a puppet of the US.

    Sure the Dali Lamma was a puppet, it was the western world funding him otherwise he couldnt run a living. Dali Lamma was popular in the western world partly was because the western world was living in a spiritually despair the other reason was the fear of a rising China.There was no method to control the rise of China and the Chinese wont obey any rules setted by the western world! Thats why they bringing out Dali lamma to irk Chinese.Dali lamma's theories was just a fantasy, unpractical like an opium given you illusions to escape from the real! He was a puppet speaking something those who funded him. He was a miserable person because he was in exile for 50 years but the traditions of papacy regieme in Tibet shall be no more! It was abolished long ago and it wont coming back.

    The Dalai Lama's real job is teaching people how to fill that spiritual emptiness inside themselves. 

    No government is able to teach that. The only way most Chinese people can get peace in their restless souls is by trying to make more money or by drinking large quantities of alcohol.

    I think China needs the Dalai Lama, but, as a man pretends not to need a woman, sometimes Chinese leaders posture to show the world how strong they are. But there is a pain inside...

  • JoeBigs at 09:21 PM JST - 28th July

    reddragonguy Sure the Dali Lamma was a puppet,

    That is the silliest darn ting I have heard you CCP internet farm workers say yet.

    I think CCP China has more internal problems to worry about than the true Dalai Lama.
