Tutu Jokes Dalai Lama 'Mischievous'

PRETORIA, South Africa, Jul. 27 (UPI) -- The Dalai Lama is not simply not bitter after 50 years in exile from China -- "he's actually quite mischievous," South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu joked.

The Dalai Lama "really is amazing," Tutu said after receiving the 2009 Spiritual Leadership Award at a Pretoria, South Africa, summit that also recognized the Tibetan Buddhist leader.

"He has an incredible serenity," Tutu said in a video posted on YouTube by the international Humanity's Team movement, which gave Tutu the award.

"Imagine, I mean, we praise (former South African President and earlier anti-apartheid activist) Nelson Mandela -- and we do, quite rightly -- for 27 years in jail and coming out with that magnanimity," Tutu said.

But "the Dalai Lama has been in exile 50 years," Tutu told an audience at a 2,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, "and you'd have expected that, by now, he would have been corroded by a bitterness. He hasn't."

"He's actually quite mischievous," Tutu said to audience laughter.

"I have to say to him: 'Look here -- the cameras are on us now. Try to behave like a holy man,'" Tutu said in mock seriousness, raising an index finger as if genuinely admonishing his fellow Nobel Peace laureate.

The retired Anglican archbishop made his remarks after receiving the award at the movement's 2009 Oneness Summit.

Humanity's Team of Boulder, Colo., has no religious or political affiliation, a movement spokesman told United Press International.

I visited this sight for the
first time and I found it best but I would like to add that currently we are
living in the era of IT but unfortunately more than half of world population is
illiterate. Out of those a few are computer and internet familiar so the target
market for internet marketing is niche. Therefore the developed nations should
promote mcse practice exams education as well as computer literacy in these developing areas so the target
market can be increased in future.

Submitted on Iunie 13th, 2010 by curt

It has sometimes been suggested that this state of affairs was brought about by the Ambans—the Imperial Residents in Tibet—because it would be easier to control the Tibet through a Regent than when a Dalai Lama, with his absolute power, was at the head of the government. That is not true. The regular ebb and flow of events followed its set course. The Imperial Residents in Tibet, after the first flush of zeal in 1750, grew less and less interested and efficient. Tibet was, to them, exile from the urbanity and culture of Peking; and so far from dominating the Regents, the Ambans allowed themselves to be dominated. It was the ambition and greed for power of Tibetans that led to five successive Dalai Lamas being subjected to continuous tutelage.discount air jordan shoes
