Tenzin Dhonden and Robert Thurman are two stupid persons who are blinded by their desire, greed, lust, and ager. The former dragged the Dalai Lama into endorsing a notorious sex cult, while the latter openly commit cybercrime in front of the public eyes. Both of them make the Dalai Lama incapable, unskillful and uninspirational.
Thurman is actually a very angry old man, who had spent his life conducting anti-dharma activities, blinded with hate and anger, he maliciously advocates hate and harms Dorje Shugden practitioners openly solicit hackers, breaching the US Federal law, to hack Twitter users accounts. Embarrassingly, his US$17,000 offers for the job was rationally declined by Anonymous, reminding him that they are not his personal army.
Thurman is a very bad representation of the Dalai Lama and Buddhism as a whole. He made the Dalai Lama's followers have nothing but wrong views and wrong interpretations of Guru Devotion and dharma practice. Pairing with this he "binned his maroon robe" under a year and married ex-wife of Timothy Leary, the "guru of psychedelic druggery". You would wonder what has he learned and practiced in the year as a monk to make such a decision.
