I, too, have been disappointed at the shallowness of the public statements of the Dalai Lama; his analyses seem very generic and devoid of profundity or even insight. In any case, who would have expected this cringy kid encounter? Even so, I'm hoping his apparent disrespect for boundaries goes no deeper, but with all the revelations involving religious institutions, I expect to be disappointed.
On another note, it was about a year ago I learned that Gloria Steinem was a CIA operative, now the Dalai Lama? That spook agency really does have its tentacles in everything.

Partisan Review, and quite a bit of modern art (abstract expressionism, IIRC) was CIA sponsored.
