Just imagine, how you would feel if somebody interupts in what you believe in. The reincarnation of any lamas are now required to be passed by the government. Who ever decided to give the Dalai Lama the gold medal must have found something good about him. if you have not found anything good in him, don't give or say anything nonsense about him. do a through research first and then comment about somebody. watch the video "nangpala shooting" in google. you would see how the chinese government rules are. or watch the videos about tibet in youtube or google.
