A Dalai doodle: The Dalai Lama draws in the snow with his finger outside the White House after a meeting with President Obama that really ticked off the Chinese.

1. so what? I can write my name in the snow.

2. But wouldn't you freeze, in a sleeveless dress and flip-flops?

[yorgatron]

4. that outfit would save me a lot of fumbling with the zipper...

[flvegan]

11. "a sleeveless dress?"

Really?

[hisownpetard]

27. Kidding. I love the man!

[ananda]

12. I was thinking the same thing.

He must be amazingly acclimated to the cold.

13. At least it wasn't a flowered cardigan like some First Ladies wore

to meet the Queen.

j/k :)

15. I think it's called "robes". Traditional garb of the monks.

16. I think It might be a snuggie....

24. Nice, but I think he should go for the leopard print.... n/t

[pipi_k]

7. Yeah? So can I! From across the street!

:woohoo:

22. Bet you couldn't if your name was "Tenzin Gyatso"

Drink 3 beers first and maybe you'd get to the letter "y".

3. It certainly makes one wonder why this man seems to present such a threat

to the Chinese. He certainly has their number it would seem and for the life of me I can't figure out why!

[yorgatron]

8. because they have no sense of humor.

[KittyWampus]

5. Is he drawing a snow mandala that will melt away in the sun?

[WillyT]

6. No... It Says, "Public Option"

:evilgrin:

18. -snort-

20. He probably inscribed a sigil

to ward off darkside Chinese or Republicon occultism.

As for the robe,there are lots of old stories about the training of Tibetan monks where they sit outside on the mountain in winter wrapped in wet sheets. The challenge is to see how many sheets you can dry with your body heat before the sun comes up.

Mind over matter.

9. Now THAT is Buddhism

Taking delight in making your mark on something that will melt away in a month.

Even the Dalai Lama knows that.

10. My favorite Dalai Lama picture was the one with the trash bags.

[AllyCat]

14. Oh, the poor Chinese gov't! How awful! I mean, they just keep getting beaten

by the Tibetans and the Buddhists...oh wait, scratch that. I really don't care what the Chinese want. Let them squirm for a change. It's a lot easier than what they have done to the Tibetan people.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

17. He wrote FU China.

[hisownpetard]

25. Hahahaa!

[Mari333]

19. a child shall lead them.....

[undeterred]

23. I've heard Republican visitors pee in the snow outside the White House.

26. And then the teapartiers come along and eat it, thinking it's lemon ice.
