I regret if i happened to hurt your religious feeling! But as you are free to revere some body other's are also free to critique. And in a 21st century we need to learn this too. As i consider buddhism " more as a living philosophy" than a religion I still wonder how mr. lama's contribution to the general tibeten justify this philosophy.  " Budhha left his throne for betterment of human kind" Can't we see a contrary situation here?

The other side of the world has every right to see him more as a poltician than a holy preacher. One can argue on either side, but the reality is Tibet, has now become a center of world politics and it is more of a politcs than anything else.

We should not forget how important for us to have good relationship with China, irrespective of thier political system. So, if you think we are nepali, and we should be together then we should first consider our national goals rather than focusing on individual regligious belief. And if one believes that tibet is better off with the feudal monastic culture, then I think tibetn themself will revolt against that. Because they also have skin as we do.
