- dementedd, on 02/08/2009, -4/+124Are we absolutely sure this is actually the Dalai Lama?
- michaelpinto, on 02/08/2009, -2/+84It is the sound of one hand tweeting...
- MachineMessiah, on 02/09/2009, -0/+40The Pope just called and told a funny joke about me, himself, and a Rabbi...
- Wulffy, on 02/08/2009, -5/+42Cool! "Our office is currently overwhelmed by responses from our first day on Twitter. We will make every effort to answer your questions in time."
- AmyVernon, on 02/08/2009, -2/+29It seems legit - connected to the Dalai Lama's other official Internet sites (he's on MySpace???!!) and his office hasn't claimed it's not legit.

- Jareth86, on 02/09/2009, -1/+24So if he dies and his reincarnation can't remember the password, would twitter give it to him, or does he have to make a new account?
- hospitalcio, on 02/09/2009, -2/+24I got a DM from him: "when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."
So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. - TriZz, on 02/09/2009, -1/+23His account has been disabled.

Definitely the most hilarious typo I've seen in a while.. - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -1/+16Yep.
- thefarside420, on 02/09/2009, -11/+25Meanwhile, George Bush is busy setting up his myspace page.
- enantiodromia, on 02/09/2009, -0/+13you seem to know a lot about this:
"There is no single Buddhist view concerning abortion.[4] Those practicing in Japan and the United States are said to be more tolerant of abortion than those who live elsewhere.[5] In Japan, women sometimes participate in Mizuko kuyo (水子供養 — lit.) after an induced abortion or an abortion as the result of a miscarriage. The Dalai Lama has said that abortion is "negative," but there are exceptions. He said, "I think abortion should be approved or disapproved according to each circumstance."[6]"
"Though, there is no explicit condemnation of homosexuality in Buddhist scripture be it Theravada, Mahayana or Mantrayana; societal and community attitudes and the historical view of practitioners have established precedents: Yielding some sangha that equate homosexuality with scriptural sexual misconduct prohibited by the Five Precepts; and other sangha which hold that if sexuality is compassionate and/or consensual and does not contravene vows, then there is no dharmic infraction irrespective of whether it is same-sex or not." - positron, on 02/09/2009, -1/+13I find your lack of faith disturbing.

- WhoDoneIt, on 02/09/2009, -2/+12I thought this was funny.
- Schizotypal, on 02/09/2009, -0/+9I think we have a winner. The update on the post says it was fake.
See internet? This is why we can't have nice things. - TwoKill, on 02/09/2009, -2/+11Finally, something like this that doesn't link to a tiny pic with comments where the deity/religious leader/political figure is acting like a 16 year old girl.
- Qumahlin, on 02/09/2009, -0/+9Did you think he was the worlds oldest human or something?
- Steroblo, on 02/09/2009, -0/+8So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald. Striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga gunga - gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

"I'm at McDonalds. Can't beat the dolla menu!" - Toshibi, on 02/09/2009, -2/+8Talked to CIA about more armed gorillas. CIA is so lame.
- diggimator, on 02/09/2009, -0/+5The account password was: "happiness".
- Kaminczak, on 02/09/2009, -0/+5That page doesn't exist!
Sounds like a profound Buddhist maxim.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. - Mittens27, on 02/09/2009, -1/+6Not to dis his holiness, but a lot of Buddhists segregate themselves from the Dalai Lama. I was in a temple recently and they said as a general rule of thumb in their religion they aren't allowed to get involved in politics at all. It's not that Buddhists condemn him, in fact they recognize that he's doing great things and it's probably necessary considering the situation in Tibet, they just think he should remain secular from politics.
- Hanny26, on 02/09/2009, -1/+6We also received "official Qik app to be released soon" verification... yeah, about that. Respect/love Kevin for sure for all that he's done, but I've learned to take anything "Official" from him with a grain of salt (other than Digg related *****, obviously he knows what's going on in his own shop)
- geneticlemon, on 02/09/2009, -3/+8Aaaaand, you're buried!
- MaximusD, on 02/09/2009, -1/+6a priest, a lama and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender says "Welcome! Can I ask something? What do you guys think about God?"
The rabbi says: "I believe in that there is no Lord but YHWH and that we must follow His commandments."
The priest says: "I believe God is a trinity -- the father, son and Holy Ghost.:
The Lama says: (*Make sound of a llama")
It gets laughs. - musicphreke, on 02/09/2009, -0/+5Buried as inaccurate: http://twitter.com/BreakingNewsOn/status/119270236 ...

- avianna, on 02/09/2009, -2/+6what gives? twitter says his account is suspended! ... maybe it is a test... stay mellow...
- ddonaldson, on 02/09/2009, -2/+6the account just got shut down
- wild, on 02/09/2009, -0/+4Sex for recreational purposes is generally disapproved by the Buddhist religion, as a fundamental tenant of the religion. Since gay sex does not reproduce, that makes it fall in the recreational category. But it is on the same level as a blow job or a hand job.
It is not villified, it is just not seen as the proper path. You'll find Buddhists to be incredibly tolerant when it comes to homosexuality, and as a religion its views are indifferent, rather than suppressive. That is the reason Christianity receives the backlash. They are trying to tell others that they cannot live a life different from theirs. No real Buddhist would ever do that.
I am a Buddhist, and I actively support gay rights. Things like Prop 8 induce suffering, and that goes against my religion. - maverex, on 02/09/2009, -0/+4"everyone who's wondering why @ohhdl was suspended. the official ohhdl in dharamsala, india informed us that @ohhdl is an impersonator. sorry everyone who's wondering why @ohhdl was suspended. the official ohhdl in dharamsala, india informed us that @ohhdl is an impersonator. sorry"

- EricStratton, on 02/09/2009, -2/+6His account's been suspended for suspicious activity. Hmm.
- Sporky023, on 02/09/2009, -0/+3Um, basically the importance of anything the Dalai Lama says arises not from the fact that it is "from his holy mouth", but from the fact that it is true, and self-apparent, and individually verifiable, and helpful. He generally talks about the philosophy of happiness, and that is the sort of thing which, if it's not self-evident or self-verifiable, is useless anyway.
In other words, who cares whether it's the real Dalai Lama? It should make no difference where it's coming from, if it's a good message. -
