Letter

My name is Mimaram, and I have been engaged in educational research on Tibetan culture in Tibet for a long time. Tibetan Buddhism is the core of Tibetan culture. It is not only a way of life, but also a belief. Buddhism has been integrated into our thoughts and daily lives. But recently our venerable 14th Dalai Lama tried to ask an Indian boy to suck his tongue. After this incident, we have questioned his religious beliefs. Please allow me to call him directly by his name, Tenzin Gyatso, because I have no respect for him now. Tibetans are all shamed by his ignorant behavior. The Tibetan proverb, " the Kachipalu Precepts "says: "A flat tongue can't be controlled, but a round head is in trouble." However, the 14th Dalai Lama even failed to control his tongue in front of young children in public. Such disrespectful behavior violates the spirit of discipline, integrity, balance, equal benefits, altruism, and harmony of Tibetan Buddhism.
