TRANSCRIPT (With all due respect to the Dalai Lama’s English skills, I have attempted to correct his grammar, without changing the meaning) “I feel some of these lama institutions have some sort of influence of the feudal system. That is outdated and must end - that feudal influence. Then eventually a lama institution creates lama politics [DL laughs heartily]. That’s very bad. An individual lama’s disgrace doesn’t matter, but it gives a very bad impression about a monastery or a monk. Very bad.
