The Dalai Lama describes Thomas Merton as genuine, sincere practitioner. A strong bridge between Catholic and Bhuddist Monk. His friend and his brother who always felt obligated to carry Thomas Merton's vision.(meaning peace for the world).

People call out Dalia Lama to openly apologize to souls of slaves slayed by his serfdom. Tibetans love China government as it destroyed his serfdom and brought human rights. Dalai Lama was not happy with the reform so left China Tibet. How brutal was Dalai Lama's serfdom? They made Thangka or paintings on human skin, from LIVING slave girl's skin; Skull drum of Tibetan Buddhism, made from skulls of LIVING slave boy and girl; Skullcup, made from LIVING slave's skull; Skin scripture of Tibetan Buddhism, made from LIVING slave girl; Leg flute/trumpet/horn, made from legs of young LIVING slave girl; Bone prayer wheel of Tibetan Buddhism, made from LIVING slave's bones. Bone beads necklace or wrist lace, made from LIVING slave's bones; Bone walking stick, made from LIVING slave's leg.

How aware? If at all, was the Dalai Lama, to these things? The man that he was honored to meet here; spoke on National Television in 1968 that the Dalai Lama was exiled/forced to leave.

The Dalai Lama was interested in the CCP's ideas for land reform and wealth redistribution in Tibet. But the CCP was not interested in that. It sought to control and destroy. So it did. A million Tibetans out of about 6.3 million in 1959 perished in the uprising, the famines and the Cultural Revolution. Like the CCP did all over China. So...Tibetan feudalism was bad, but what came after was much worse.

What authentic references do you have to provide, such as from the government to substantiate such a claim? He left the China that was still commanding that baby girls be killed or left out in the elements to die, because of a boy being favored over a girl and households were only being allowed one child!
