An 87 yr old man kissing a young boy.....creates an outrage among  those whose own creepiness  causes then to see all affection and joking about it as sick  Those seeing it this way are sick.

When in 1975 I read Heinrich Harrer's Seven Years in Tibet I felt profoundly sorry for Lhamo Thondup (the boy dalai Lama) who was locked up in a palace amongst monks who knew nothing of the outside world. This boy was never going to be given the chance to grow up as a normal Tibetan boy and become a normal Tibetan man. He was totally fucked over by religion. He should not be looked up to as being spiritually wise any more than a pope or an archbishop. These men may be able to recite the holy books but people who get their hands dirty every day creating things that the community needs are more spiritually advanced than any robed man on a throne.

I agree with your view but please edit the image so that we don't see the intimate contact between him and the child.

The kissy Dalilama is the product of having too much time philosophizing and not enough time doing productive work with productive peoole.  Let this be a psychological lesson in why people do what they do to survive.

There's a really gross video going around of the Dalai Lama kissing a young boy on the lips and telling him to suck his tongue while an adult audience looks on approvingly.
