…Buddha won't make ignorant statements about what Americans can do in their bedroom about masturbation and about homosexuality, like the Dalai Lama did. Very ignorant and uncompassioned since he said it in San Francisco. When was this? A couple. I guess it…
…say about homosexuality, given the climate of fear and homophobia in this country right now. Hmm. Well, I like the Dalai Lama. I'm friendly to Mahayana Buddhism, but I think it's preposterous for anybody to assume anybody else possesses greater moral…
…I think it's preposterous for anybody to assume anybody else possesses greater moral superiority or intellectual depth than they do. The Dalai Lama has been remarkable for his ability to not put his foot in his mouth. It's interesting that it comes in this…
…on the beach. To seek enlightenment from another. It's a wonderful statement about our commonality. If you want to talk to the Dalai Lama, close the door of your bedroom and have a dialogue with the mirror, you're as good as the Dalai Lama, for crying…

…artillery there, as soon as they could get it they used it against each other. And not only that, what the followers of the Dalai Lama. I think you make a good point about blind worship of people like the Dalai Lama where no one ever asks them hard…
…only that, what the followers of the Dalai Lama. I think you make a good point about blind worship of people like the Dalai Lama where no one ever asks them hard questions. It's not him. It's kind of mentality. You get in the followers. None of them…
…will tell you. I don't even think they know. But if they know they won't tell you that. If you ask how did the Dalai Lama. Was the Dalai Lama always the. The religious, the spiritual and the secular or political head of his nation? Oh, I don't know.…
…don't even think they know. But if they know they won't tell you that. If you ask how did the Dalai Lama. Was the Dalai Lama always the. The religious, the spiritual and the secular or political head of his nation? Oh, I don't know. Well as a matter…
…of fact he wasn't. Well how did he get that way? Well we don't know. Well the way he got that way was the fifth Dalai Lama got the mongol troops on his side and took over at gunpoint. Well this is what I'm saying. The secular history of Tibet does…
…founded, and I've published numerous books, all of which I self published. And I'm very close friends with Terence McKenna and the Dalai Lama. And I know what's going on here. And say, okay, what's going on? Say, well, this is cosmic retribution for our…
…a kind of monkishness. What is the charm of all this crap? Can anybody explain it to me? I heard a story about the Dalai Lama. I mean, let this ricochet around in your mind. The Dalai Lama came to Los Angeles and so the committee that was there to…
…anybody explain it to me? I heard a story about the Dalai Lama. I mean, let this ricochet around in your mind. The Dalai Lama came to Los Angeles and so the committee that was there to receive him and make his visit comfortable wanted to do something…
…So then after it was over and they were all having their double expressed, or the campari or whatever they were having, the Dalai Lama said, I want to thank you so much for making this experience available to me. I feel I understand Americans so much…
…this experience available to me. I feel I understand Americans so much better now. I saw so many things I wanted. This is the Dalai Lama talking. He saw so many things he wanted. Well, if the Dalai Lama is not immune, my God, what chance have you and…

…to some kind of higher consciousness. If yoga can do it, great. If TM can do it, great. If the pope and the Dalai Lama, fine. But in my experience, the only thing that changes consciousness as fast as we're going to have to change it is psychedelics.…

…trying to get at, wasn't. It's more your rap on religion and its misuses. The object of my response was bigger than the Dalai Lama. And I'm not looking for conflict between the buddhist group like you had, or dissension for its own sake, but for the…
