"9. The Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader and winner of a Nobel Peace Prize, owns an air rifle. "I feed birds, peaceful birds. I'm non-violent, but if a hawk comes when I'm feeding birds I lose my temper and get my air rifle," he has reportedly said. "Only to scare the hawks." "

I think it's more of a case of differentiating between violent and non-violent. The Hawks are violent, so he doesn't like them. Not very ecologically sound, of course, but never mind.

God, has the man ever seen nature? Every single piece of nature is vicious, single-minded and very, very violent, even if it's on a smaller scale.

Anyway, I'll stop criticising the Dalai Lama now. Has anyone read 7 years in tibet?
