@Aisling The funny thing is that my history teacher didn't believe me when I said that the Dalai Lama spoke for abandoning religions. All he had to say is, 'But he is a religious leader as well.' To me, that shows how much we think about having power as being the most important thing... if there were no religions, the Dalai Lama wouldn't have any power any more, but he probably wouldn't care about that.
