QuoteIn one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.
lol
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That's awesome :D
So that basically means that when the Lamas (ie, religious leaders) die, they either won't be able to be reincarnated, or the reincarnation can be killed. That's pretty scary -- a good part of their religious belief rests on that.
Owned.
They're trying to control the Lama? Hah. What lamers.
Maybe this'll be the end of Buddhism. :)

That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Am I the only one who thought of that when reading iago's post?
How sad, I actually like Buddhism

Reincarnation and immortality aren't quite the same. Close though. Partial credit. :P
Buddhism is one of the few useful religions in the world.
LMFAO!! It's funny, but that sucks.
