Seen This Fake Dalai Lama Quote?


Another Fake Dalai Lama Quote

The Dalai Lama is quoted a lot on the internet.

Whenever I see some glib, pithy quote attributed to him, I am suspicious. I've read some essays by him and interviews with him. But I've never seen an internet, mass-emailed quote that sounds like anything I've read that's actually verified as being the Dalai Lama's own words. This latest carefully crafted and cleverly hyped quote attributed to him that's making the rounds is a good example. More about hoax.
