I find mnyself more and more disenfranchised with the dalai lama. Regardless of what ever lies the china makes up about tibet one cant help but feel that pre invasion tibet functioned some what like the medieval catholic church. And while this has its upsides such as art and ritual, it has a down side which I find myself more and more uncomfortable with.

Maby I just need a break from tibet. Less "book of the dead" more pali canon.
