I do not understand why George Soros was mentioned at all in this topic of discussion.
If you understood, there would be no need for the mention.
There is no history of George Soros supporting the Tibetan cause.
I regret your ignorance. George Soros through his organizations such as the
Open Society Foundation, the
Trace Foundation, and the
Tsadra Foundation, is deeply and personally involved with the anti-China Tibetan terrorist and separatist movement also known by the ridiculous name of “Tibetan cause”, as well as with the odious anti-Gelug sectarianist movement known as “rimey”.
Systematically disparaging Russia's legitimate leader Vladimir Putin, which is what the evil dalie was ordered to do as above, is also well known as a main priority in George Soros' agenda.
I may not always agree with the Dalai Lama's political maneuver, and I think it is not wise for him to mock Vladimir Puttin. However, he deserves some degree of respect for his contribution to bring and introduce Buddhism to the west.
You live in a mass media-fed fantasy world.
Buddhism has been introduced to the West since the times of king Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, who likely sent Buddhist missionaries as far West as the Mediterranean, not to mention the Greco-Buddhist culture of Bactria, where the Western, Hellenic culture met Buddhism. The Buddhist presence in pre-Christan Egypt is well documented, and Buddha and Buddhists are mentioned in old Roman and early Christian writings.
In modern times, Japanese forms of Buddhism have been widely introduced in US since 1893; the
“Tibetan Book of the Dead”, which attracted so many Westerners to Tibetan Buddhism, was published in English translation in 1927, and the first Buddhist temple in Western Europe was founded in 1924, in Berlin, following the Theravada tradition.
Still, it belongs to Russia the honor of hosting the very first Buddhist temple in Europe, which is also a Tibetan and a Gelugpa temple: the Kalachakra temple of St. Petersburg, founded in 1909. Exiled Kalmykians founded a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Central European Serbia in 1924, and their descendants founded the very first Tibetan Buddhist temple in US (New Jersey) led by the Kalmykian Mongolian lama Geshe Ngawang Wangyal in 1958, so important for the dissemination of Je Tsongkhapa's teachings in the West.
Obviously all of this happened much
before the current, evil dalie, was even born as a Muslim in 1935, and even the landmark foundation of the Kalmykian temple of New Jersey in 1958 preceded the evil dalie's fleeing Tibet in 1959.
After China's peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1959 many pure lamas of all traditions disseminated Tibetan Buddhist traditions in the West while the evil dalie was busy making politics, organizing terrorists operations within Tibet, trying to overpower the leaders of the different traditions such as the previous Karmapa, making agreements with the Nyingmapas to suppress Shugdenpas, having books written in his name pretending to explain Dharma but actually using Buddhism as a cover for cheap political and sectarianist propaganda, disparaging his root gurus, promoting gruesome self-immolations and racist bloody riots, causing schism within the Gelugpa tradition, denying karma in order to please Western materialist ideologues imbued with Abrahamic dogma, supporting Islamic State terrorists, supporting al-Qaeda Muslim terrorists against Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Myanmar, going to Bilderberg meetings to lick the shoes of Abrahamic financial terrorists, and criticizing the Russian legitimate leader Vladimir Putin; in a nutshell, performing the agenda of his Abrahamic, Buddhism-hating sponsor George Soros while being promoted by Western mass media as the supreme “Buddhist” icon.
Bottom line, Buddhism, and specifically in the West owes nothing to the evil dalie, except for the the endless havoc brought by his insatiable greed for power, and by his unfailing subservience to his Western Abrahamic Buddhist-hating puppet masters.
