Hello Dot,
Some honest questions.
1) The dalai. Is he not a mortal?
2) Been to many a funeral. Funerals have a habit of separating folks from their belief system. IE the "christians" who never had faith generally are a pile of tears. The Christians who have faith are the ones celebrating. Does not their teaching claim that the reward in the afterlife is worth it?
3) And lest we forget, does not the dalai also have a faith? Otherwise he would not have been laughing? His laughter assumes a faith in what comes after death. I'm thinking those that were taken aback at said dinner were the enlightened ones.
4) Why would I give a damn about anyone if there was no afterlife? My dying father? Its survival of the fittest and if he or anyone else doesn't look so good, its their tough luck. (I'm the devil's advocate here)
5) Have you yet completely forsaken the way you were raised? But maybe the Hunter S. Thompson avatar answers this question? Hopefully you are not at his stage yet. One word....MEANINGLESS. And meaningless can never be meaning to anyone. Not to a dalai or a dog.
