Dharmakara The issue has very little to do with Buddhism, but more to do with worldly attachments, but because anything with the word "Tibet" in it invovoke the "Buddhist" label, it usually appears not to be the case.

The Buddha was a prince and gave up such things as temporal power and yet the Tibetan tradition claims to be Buddhist. What have noticed within the Tibetan tradition? Deception and a never-ending spirit of denial when it comes to its own past.

Of course, when ever one mentions such things the excuse is usually that they have their own agenda, but what kind of agenda does the pro-Tibet camp possess when they continue to play the role of "victim", refusing to demonstrate any transparency or accountability?

Don't confuse the issue of these people with Buddhism --- it never has been and never will be.
