He has said as much, himself.. he has never claimed to be enlightened,

and said he does not possess the psychic and spiritual gifts of some of his

predecessors, but instead is a gifted diplomat, which is what Tibet needs

in these trying times.

Blessings..

Thanks for the observation. My comment was of course not meant to be

judgemental of the DL. It was merely an observation. My observations

realy don't amount to a hill of beans anyway. hooha!

 

Perhaps the DL is so grounded that the idea/question of enlightenment

is rather moot for him. Does it matter? Nah!

 

As for 'psychic and spiritual gifts' they do not matter. They are

merely more phenomena. Anyone may be so gifted. Some may use thier

gifts wisely and conservatively. Others may abuse them.

 

Jesus said something to the effect that if one had enough faith, one

could move mountains. How rude! What an ecological disaster if people

were to go about moving mountains around all the time. HAHAHAH

 

A true miracle is when the chains of fear, possesivenss, hatred, and

judgement are broken away from the heart.

 

Peace - Michael
