For HH Dalai Lama to open prayer at U.S Senate is of huge significance.
Indeed, the significance of a medieval theocrat witch-hunter praying at the senate of the global leader of state terrorism, the main supporter of bloody theocracies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Bahrain.
One does not simply get invited to US Senate meeting
Of course, one has to be a top world criminal, and a useful puppet, as is the case with the evil dalie.
and even bigger as a head of a religion and that not of the traditional majority of the US nation.
Sure, but only if the invited theocrat is hell bent on destroying his own supposed religion, as the evil dalie lame is hell bent on destroying Buddhism.
This event signifies the extend of influence HHDL holds
Which is the extent of the influence of evil and lie in our dark age, as exemplified by the evil dalie.
You are obviously infatuated with ”influence”, which shows that your frame of mind is that of a politician (or that of a politician's bootlicker), not of a Dharma practitioner.
and the rise and growth of Buddhism in the West.
Not of Buddhism, but of dalaism, which is obviously your heart religion, and which is characterized by brutal witch hunts, instigation of self-immolations and bloody riots, brazen lies, widespread corruption and nepotism in public affairs, absolutistic theocracy, and so forth.
The US government may have an agenda of its own in orchestrating this event. However, while the US government and Chinese government are trying to manipulate, outsmart and engineered each country's plans, HHDL as an emanation of Chenrezig, Buddha of Compassion is above the wisdom and intelligence of the best mastermind in this world.
That's probably why the evil theocrat is now for 55 years in exile, dependent on monthly allowances paid by corrupt financiers, and bringing only misery, schism and disaster to his own people, while Buddhists in Tibet and elsewhere in China enjoy not only prosperity, but also the freedom to peacefully practice their thriving religion.
To think HHDL is just being used as a political pawn is naive.
Every political pawn has his or her own agenda, that's why they become a pawn in the first place. And the agenda of the evil entity is to go back to Tibet as the Western-supported local theocratic witch hunter, as much as the evil butchers of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, etc. are the Western supported theocratic witch hunters of such hellish countries.
I think HHDL has a much much bigger cosmic plan in all his actions.
That's just what any evil theocrat needs from others: stupid beliefs sanctioning and sanctifying their crimes.
