Surprised beyond all belief.
I'm not sure what the Dalai Lama was thinking and what I'm supposed to think of him when he appears on a television game show where contestants try to win by cooking the best meal.
I don't watch shows such as Master Chef because I don't consider them entertainment. Each to his own.
But the religious leader of Buddhists putting himself on such a show trivializes whatever he is trying to sell.
I don't have much time for religion, any religion but I do respect other people's right to follow whichever religion they choose as long as that religion doesn't threaten to harm me. (Are you listening Muslims?)
Where does the Dalai Lama draw the line? Would he make a guest appearance on Big Brother?
Regardless of how he would answer such a question it seems indisputable that he has become a commodity.
Easily recognized by his dress code, strutting the world stage and performing as himself on radio and television, we are unable to escape his presence.
Why?
What's he selling?
