Kingdom of Tibet and HH the Dalai Lama

[norenxaq]

Hello:

what is the king's lineage?

thank-you

His Holiness was never considered King of Tibet though he had temporal power which means political power. He has not abdicated but given his political power to the democratically elected Prime Minister. The Dalai Lama crowned XVIII DHarma King of Tibet, His Majesty King Lhagyari Trichen Namgyal Wangchuk in 2004 after his father the XVII King passed away. The King is being mentored by His Holiness and is studying in the US and surely will have a very important role as constitutional King of Tibet.

HH Dalai Lama is always picked. There are a serious of tests that he must complete. I have met people who helped and witness along the journey, since this position is Felipe's and enlighten. Not one that's born into like a monarchy.

The Dalai Lama has become an atheist:
The Dalai Lama Converts To Atheism, Will Step Down | God

Is this serious??

Whahaha, a joke, should have known.....

Its a satirical site with extremely offensive language.

Why post this link which attributes language like this to the Dalai Lama?

As a Buddhist who has had many teachings directly from the Dalai Lama I am quite disappointed.
