Скачать или смотреть The Dalai Lama Controversy

Recently cringey excerpts from a video were released of the Dalai Lama's interaction with a young boy at a public event. I'll consider the background to that video and suggest five conclusions we might want to take from this episode.

** NOTE: although it is mentioned in Joshua Shelton's article, I forgot to point out in the video that the Dalai Lama has apologized for the incident. https://www.dalailama.com/news/2023/s...
