Dangers of the Dalai Lama

...Amid the latest Islamic terrorist attacks, the world's best known Buddhist monk{another false religion; but Christianity is not calling for its believers' destruction} is claiming Islam is really a compassionate faith that is being unfairly maligned.

The Dalai Lama spoke to a gathering of international Islamic leaders in San Francisco, California, over the weekend and told listeners that all human beings are prone to violence and an entire faith should not be judged by what he called "a few mischievous people." {Mischievous? Strapping a bomb on my chest and blowing myself and others up who happen to worship differently makes me "mischievous"? Well, what if I decide to drop an atomic bomb on an Islamic country? Am I still mischievous? Or am I finally just a murdering, bigot?

When they do these things to Israel or America, what exactly is the difference? Murderers are murderers. They are NOT mischievous. Then the entire religion needs to be recognized for what it is.}

One of the organizers of the San Francisco meeting said he hoped the presence of the Dalai Lama could warm Americans to Islam, {Can you see an "agenda" when it's presented to you America?} since many Americans have mixed feelings about that religion but are receptive to Buddhism.

Christian Ministry Leader Urges Prayer as Dalai Lama Visits Mayo Clinic

Olive Tree Ministries founder and director Jan Markell says the patients and staff at the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, need a prayer of protection on April 17. She believes a guest who will soon be visiting the hospital may pose a greater danger to the patients than the illnesses that brought them there.

From her own personal experience at the medical facility, the head of Olive Tree Ministries says she knows the Rochester clinic is a place where many people go as a last resort when they have exhausted all other hope for treatment of their diseases. Because of this, the Tibetan Buddhist leader's impending visit is "a disaster waiting to happen," she contends.

"You've got hundreds if not thousands of people like that, in that mental state," Markell observes, "and then along comes this false prophet, who probably is going to give them some kind of lie because he represents everything that has to do with the New Age movement."

The bottom line, the ministry leader says, is the need for people "to pray for this thing that's going to happen on April 17." At a time in the Church and in society when many people desire to experience God in a fresh new way, she contends, bringing the Dalai Lama before people who are already in a vulnerable state just paves the road for false doctrine and New Age spirituality to enter their lives.

Markell suspects that the public's fascination with the Dalai Lama may be a mark of many people's desire to have a fresh encounter with God. "But this is a false god in a false religion, who has nothing to offer anybody," she emphasizes. "As a matter of fact, he's a Buddhist, and Buddhists don't even believe there's a God."

But despite what Tibetan Buddhism teaches, Olive Tree Ministries' founder asserts, the Dalai Lama cannot offer anyone peace because there is no true peace apart from salvation in Jesus.

"The intriguing thing," she says, "is the way people are flocking to want to hear this man. I guess I don't understand, other than that we're in such days of deception now, as the Bible predicted."
