Sounds like the his holiness himself pissed in yours. I don't recall any rebellions or repressive regimes under the D. Lama . Did you ever think that maybe his followers are happy to live the simple lives they follow? Sounds so creepy and foreign doesn't ?. People that are happy with their chosen beliefs and culture. willing to stay out of the affairs of the world, content with the few material pocessions they have. They should get their sh#t together and start wars,invasions and go nuclear like the rest of the "civilized world".
