Ok..so the Dalai Lama is a holy person, etc. But he has been living the pretty good life in D'sala.. And he gets the VIP treatment from the govt... So, maybe it's time for him to retreat spriritually instead of tripping all around the world (at the taxpayers' expense I'm sure) trying to drum up support for a lost cause... And this Australian incident is symptomatic of the waning support - even washed-up actor Richard Gere can't do much about this...
