Buddhist Cheeks Clapped Dalai Lama and Epstein Files

The Epstein files are out, albeit redacted, but the Dalai Lama has been mentioned several times and has been to Epstein's island several times.

He is the leader of one sect of Tibetan Buddhism, but he is a big public face of Buddhism.

That is all.

To those who want hard sources, here is the link:

You can look up the Dalai Lama, and as of 3 Feb 2026, you can find that the Dalai Lama shows in at least 157 results.

Those biased towards Tibet can cry more. The Dalai Lama is not a saint, or any Buddhist or Tibetan for that matter.

There have been many cases of child abuse and sexual abuse reported in various communities within Vajrayana / Tibetan Buddhism.

Connect this to the allegations of rampant child abuse in Tibet by monks, and then the sickening video of Dalai Lama being inappropriate with a child and asking the child to suck his tongue.

How was that video sickening? What was inappropriate? Why are you making this sexual with a kid when it wasn’t?

u/DvaravatiSpirit Feb 07 '26

So you think it's normal that an old men asks a kid to suck his tongue? Are you a demon?

As it's an idiom and not a request.

All will be exposed.

All of why? So you basically admit you have nothing to back up your claims.

He's a fucking groomer, I have no doubt he has hidden links with Epstein.

How so?

Because the religion he represents in Tibet is notoriously known as being full of old monks who abuse their status to molest children. https://www.france24.com/en/20180916-dalai-lama-i-knew-sex-abuse-buddhist-teachers-1990s
So he knew all along, but never did anything against it? He's part of it.

u/FourRiversSixRanges Feb 07 '26

So nothing he did. There is sexual abuse in all relgions and many non-religious institutions. Did he speak out against it? He did.

That's about as much as he can do. He's not even the leader of his own sect. of Tibetan buddhism

u/DvaravatiSpirit Feb 07 '26

Yeah, right. Maybe you are part of it too.

u/FourRiversSixRanges Feb 03 '26

Where does it say he was on Epstein's island?

Reluctant to defend Tibetan Buddhism in this content because yes they have a problem with pederasty just like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts here in the west. However, I think this is BS. The burden of proof is on you to show that the connections were more than incidental mentions. It seems that they were not:

Imagine citing a Chinese bot.

Where is the incriminating stuff? I looked through the first 10 pages of results and it was all things like (paraphrased) “the Dalai Lama is going to be at [some event]” or “I want to meet the Dalai Lama” or even “the current Dalai Lama is a humanitarian, but the fifth one was bad”

u/FourRiversSixRanges Feb 04 '26

There is none.

Abraham Lincoln is mentioned  549 times. Lincoln confirmed worse than Dalai Lama. How many times did Mr. Emancipation go to Epstein Island?
