[Buddha-l] Panchen Lama

[Baopiguy at comcast.net]

Sounds like he finally got the message after a 
few decades.......happy to hear it....but since 
he's not really a traditional Buddhist (although 
he chants daily he is "Mahayana" as part of his 
"Heart Sutra" practice) it's not for me to 
criticize....except everyone seems to believe he 
is a traditional Buddhist practitioner.
