I am a good judge of character and extremely intuitive. Ex-civil servant. Love art and literature. If you’ve lost me… search the nearest bookstore or library.
I have come to the conclusion that Twitter is a toxic environment so full of people ready to jump on the bandwagon of hate that it’s now time to say goodbye. I am not a hateful person, nor do I need to think as you do just because public opinion requires it. Peace, goodwill & bye

@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane Yes I am in tears. Yes I hold my copy of ‘Siddhartha’ dear. Yes I am possibly in denial. Yes I don’t approve of what I saw. Where are all the Buddhists? Where are all the Tibetans who should have come to the Dalai Lama’s defence? Why am I one of a handful of ppl? Yes I am upset.
@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane Yes if the intentions were bad and we’ll never really know except for a sordid image which may or may not be in jest, may or may not not be a cultural thing… yes I admit that my heart is in pieces… yes I respected the Dalai Lama and Buddhist culture … yes I AM HEARTBROKEN.
@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane Even if one child came forward.. it would finish the Dalai Lama not that it hasn’t already with the kind of persecution he’s getting now. You’re talking about the proclivities of old age. Do we have a definite diagnosis of Alzheimer’s where ppl lose their inhibitions?
@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane But if he were a paedophile, as he is from the elite and the elite get away with all sorts, he would have had ample opportunity behind closed doors to do this. Why now? Why in public? Why aren’t there a line of kids piping up to speak up and say… yes they’ve experienced it too?
@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane And secondly, there will be other children who will now come forward if there has ever been inappropriate behaviour with them behind closed doors.
@Lee2957409374@IvyProtocol @AholiabBezaleel @UltraDane Ok then I expect many more children will come forward with similar allegations although these allegations weren’t made by the kid or his parents but just the world and his wife!
@lemonthehippie_ Hey! He’s apologised! I think he’s been in exile and is just so out of touch with societal norms that he did what he did spontaneously without so much as a thought about the backlash he would face. It doesn’t mean that he’s a paedophile!
@Antone_Decque @UltraDane Yeah ok I managed to read it. I don’t really know what to think. He’s apologised to the boy’s parents as well. He’s clearly unaware of societal norms having been in exile. He’s never gonna live this one down though I’m afraid. It’s gonna keep coming up like a bad penny!
@Antone_Decque @UltraDane Well ok…. I don’t have a subscription to the Guardian but he’s apologised. If you’ve read the article, what reason does he give for his actions? Is it a cultural thing? Was it a momentary lapse of reason? Did he think that was acceptable? What?
@lemonthehippie_ And funnily enough, the entire world and his wife are complaining but the parents of the kid who admittedly had to experience a very awkward moment (esp. since it is not in the Indian culture for a kid to be kissed on the mouth) haven’t said anything!
@lemonthehippie_ Yes admittedly it was. But I just want to give this world renowned gentleman the benefit of the doubt at the ripe old age of 87. He’s really not the Jeffrey Epstein and Jimmy Saville of this world. If he were, there would be evidence of it. Abused kids wld use this op. to speak.
@Antone_Decque @UltraDane No I’m thinking like a person who has built up a following and a reputation and the respect not just of Tibetans all over the world but the entire world. Why would a person risk all of that for a French kiss with a minor IN PUBLIC? Has the video been doctored I wonder?
