As long as JW is aware of that, I don't see a problem.
I still think it would be better to actually go to a buddhist site.
Is a reasonable preposition in opposition to an irrational adverb?

Well, something we can agree upon.

You tell me, Mr. Grammer Nazi.

Seems to me religioustolerance.org would be more objective than a website run by that particular religion.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi
Well, all of a sudden, I'm an expert of buddhism? I don't have enough experience to critique their analysis.
Objective? Right.
I'm not going to jack the thread. I have major reservations that religioustolerance.org will provide correct information given their coverage of Christianity.
If I'm trying to learn more about a religion, I go to a site supported by the members of said religion. That seems to me a reasonable preposition.
ACK!

But I don't think JW wants an objective postion. Wouldn't he prefer the truth?

As the reigning one is dying, he gives indications on who his next incarnation will be, and the monks will go set out searching for the boy. There are some tests to be done to verify whether the boy found is the right one. Finally, the central government has the final say on whether the kid is actually the Dali Lama or not.Originally posted by Jaguar Warrior
I am particularly curious about how they decide who the next Dali Lama will be. IIRC they pick them when they're really little.
The same applies to other Lamas such as the Panchen Lama as well.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Yep. as UR said.
The Incarnation of the Lama then is normally taken away from the Parents and raised in a monastery, to again learn the Duties he had to do in his last Incarnation, while its Parents ae financialy eimbursed for the Loss of their Child.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Although I am particularly curious about how they decide who the next Dali Lama will be.
To elaborate on UR's post, IIRC, the selected toddlers are shown a number of objects, including one that belonged to the former lama. If the toddler grasps at the former lama's posession, it "proves" he is the re-incarnation of that lama.
Sure, it's kooky, but no kookier than the Miracle of Transubstantiation!
