dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Globally, that branch of Buddhism is on the relatively small side.

I always try to emphasize this to people. There are 4 Tibetan schools and he's the political (not even spiritual) figurehead of one of them. In the others, he's at most a respected teacher or not thought about at all.

This is technically correct, but in practice not really. From what I've seen, he's revered as a spiritual leader of immense importance by most Tibetans.
