Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

second part of our book. Here, our topic will be the influence of Vajrayana upon the Buddhist state,
the economy, the military, upon foreign affairs and world politics.
Footnotes:
[1] One must ask here whether we can really talk about a will, since the whole cosmic system of Buddhist
Tantrism resembles a mega-machine which destroys itself and then sets itself in motion once more along the
same lines as before. This would make the ADI BUDDHA much more of a mechanical world clock than a
being who possesses free will.
[2] For this reason we must regard statements on practical politics by the Dalai Lama, which contradict the ideas
of the Time Tantra (like, for instance his professions of belief in western democracy), as a mere tactic or trick
(upaya) in order to mislead those around him as to his true intentions (the establishment of a worldwide
Buddhocracy).
[3] For Tibetans and Mongolians who believe in Lamaism, the conception of the Dalai Lama as the
Chakravartin is a matter of course.
