This is why we can’t have nice things
His Holiness is currently recuperating in New York City after a successful knee surgery.
He continues to be mum on reincarnation plans as well.

Sorry for any confusion - I made this post to let people know that the Dalai Lama is currently stateside in his first visit since ~ 2017, and to be aware of the general status of his health.
But I also thought the undercurrent of snark in the NY post article was hilarious. To snark on pious devotees even more.
Mode can delete this post if it misses the mark!

I assume the poster found it interesting and wanted to share. Why does anyone post? TIL the Dalai Lama was in the US and that he has knee problems, a condition that arouses my sympathy. So, the post is good for that, at least.
This is getting MeTa-ish, but, if the post isn’t interesting to you, why not read another? It’s less aggravating to you and the people engaging with the post.
Wishing the Dalai Lama a quick recovery and good physical therapy.

The article is kinda racist? I don't think a whole MeTa is needed to delete the post and request that the OP make a new post on the topic from another news article that isn't racist.

I don't think that's how we do tolerance or pluralism.
