Hindu Goddess gives prediction to the Dalai Lama

or watch in Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u_M0dK_qi8

This is an interesting video. His Holiness the Dalia Lama is given advice by a young girl who is considered an incarnation of a Hindu Goddess. See for yourself and formulate your own thoughts on the prediction.
Nechung takes trance according to a very zealous Geshe Dorje, that Dalai Lama will visit China, then everything will be ok. Geshe Dorje states when Dalai Lama visits China people will be so happy that they die. Geshe Dorje perhaps due to language barriers or over-enthusiasm states emphatically people will die from happiness. The video overall is interesting. But you can see to understand for yourself what is the message. :D

    @person, type the url into your browser.

    I'll believe the prediction about the DL going to China and resolving the Tibet issue when I see it.

    A girl is supposed to be a rebirthed god? Laughable.

    HHDL is supposed to be one incarnation of a Bodhisattva who also has many other reincarnations at the same time - thus being more than one person at one time.

    The Dalai Lama, and old man who is believed to be the living incarnation of an ancient bodhisattva, meets a young girl who is believed to be the living incarnation of a Hindu Goddess? Sometimes I simply delight at humanity.

    I wonder if, when he saw the girl, the Dalai Lama saw himself as a young person and felt sorry for a person trapped in such a role for her entire life.

    If I'm not mistaken, all Dalai Lamas are believed to be the rebirth of a long line of tulkus who are considered to be manifestations of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara (Kwan Yin/Guan Yin).

    Welcome to cultural diversity.

    @Cinorjer I don't think the DL feels sorry for himself, having grown up in that system. I got the impression from the film that he really related to her and her predictions on a cultural level. It's something Tibetan culture and Hindu culture have in common. Belief in incarnate deities and clairvoyance.

    there seem to be much fuzziness in everyone's understanding.

    everyone please watch this documentary

    unmistaken child.

    It's a documentary where they follow a Tibetan monk who try to find his reincarnated teacher.

    I don't care if you believe this stuff or not, everyone will love this movie for many reasons
    (it's a really nice movie, we learn lots about what Tibet actually look like, about lots of stuff etc......)

    enjoy

    I remember seeing this on TV.
    I think it's a remarkable window on a life that to many is an alien concept...

    However, I have to say, from my own personal perspective, i feel that at the time of seeking to establish definitely whether this little boy was indeed the tulku the monk sought, by providing signs of proof in front of other lamas....

    hm.....frankly, I wasn't as convinced of their opinion as I hoped I would be.....
    as a buddhist who follows a different tradition, i truly kept an open mind, but i felt as if their decision was based more on a sense of having to find someone, rather than of being convinced they had...

    Yeah... I'm not so sure there's any fuzziness on the Dalai Lama being considered to be the manifestation of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteśvara, by the people of Tibet. Pretty sure they're firm on that. ;^)

    yeah i wasn't really referring to your post.

    just referring to the general lack of certainty in these kind of matter.

    sorry i probably shouldn't have quoted your post.

    No problemo! And "lack of certainty" is probably putting it mildly. These are probably "matters of faith" for some, "possibilities" for others, and just plain horse-hocky to yet others.

    Perhaps we'll just never know for certain. I'm an old romantic, so I kinda like believing these things are possible.
