During the mid-1980s his mental health had begun to deteriorate, and he became known for flying into rages. On one occasion, he told me, he physically ejected a nun from the Dalai Lama’s helicopter as it took off in Zanskar, in 1988. Afterwards, he spoke of feeling that he was channelling a wrathful deity.
Channeling Pinochet apparently
Even while I was a lib, the Dalai Lama fixation always came off as liberal Orientalism where even the most objectionable behavior is easily forgiven as part of a grand mystical and esoteric process which serves a greater purpose. Of course this eventually carved out spaces for sex pest cults like Shambala.
Scratch Pinochet and a liberal cries
Tendzin Choegyal himself was recognised not only as a reincarnate lama but also as the rebirth of an elder brother who had died shortly after childbirth. A senior monk then visiting the mourning family comforted the mother by assuring her that the child would come back. Taking some butter on his thumb, he anointed the baby’s corpse by pressing it on to one of its buttocks. She should look for such a mark on her next baby which, he told her, would be healthy. In later life, Tendzin Choegyal would delight in showing off the birthmark to friends – even while expressing scepticism as to the truth of the connection.
pulling down pants hey guys look at my ass
Imagining the person who needs trigger warnings on the cats being beaten to death but not the person pushed out of a helicopter.
Me, that would be me. There are people i would absolutely throw out of a helicopter, if i were willing to get on a helicopter. I could never do that to any kitten, cause no cat has done anything to deserve it. I probably disagree on who’s being pushed, but the action itself doesn’t strike me as disturbingly cruel. There are people who should be killed, there are no cats that should be killed
You’d better watch your back. Kitler roams amongst us.
I care about cats, not catholics
It still blows my mind that for years the film Seven Years in Tibet was treated like an earnest historical picture.
Its all deliberate. U.S. military/police training used Hollywood films as “cultural guides” for Middle East operations after 9/11
My favorite Hollywood + war on terror era crossover was the extremely fake lime green balls of poison from The Rock being part of the lies about Iraqi WMDs.
‘Trusted confidant’ for Dalai Lama
Mentality of a serial killer
Just monarchy things?
how does someone write this article and not even insinuate the height of the helicopter? It says they were taking off, were they 1 meter off the ground or 10 meters? A helicopter reaches a dangerous height almost immediately. If they were still on the ground you say “moments before they took off.”
cw: animal cruelty

In the meantime, his youthful escapades included taking his ponies on to the palace roof as a prank. On another occasion, having discovered his songbirds had been killed by the family cat, he herded the cat and its litter of kittens into a sack and clubbed them to death. He told both stories against himself without any attempt at justification.
ah yes, what youthful escapades from a fucking psycho
Huh, I wonder what has happening in Tibet’s ruling family that this guy turned out to be violent, spoiled and murderous piece of shit…
Must be nothing
Taking some butter on his thumb, he anointed the baby’s corpse by pressing it on to one of its buttocks.
Just a smoll bean holy man trying to help his people.
