in thread A Level Playing Field
you obviously know very little about the history of the incarnations of the dalai lama and the practice of tibetan buddhism to say that tenzin gyatso was chosen as a holy man because of the political needs of western countries to fracture and weaken china.
The person you're answering to didn't say so. He/She wrote"Dalai was only made a so called holy man because of the political needs of the western countries": although this may sound ambiguous I think it's clear enough that he's referring to the mediatic image of dalai lama as boasted in the western world, and not to his being "chosen" as a holy man in the strictly religious acceptation of the term, which is of course a whole another matter.
Of course you may still argue with such a (somewhat revised) claim, and you seem informed enough to do so...
