A young child in Kansas City was caught on camera destroying Buddhist artwork painstakingly made over many hours out of sand. While the monks initial reaction was one of understanding and good humor, the Dalai Lama has other thoughts on the matter.
"When the Chinese invaded my country," the 71 year old spiritual leader said. "I shrugged it off. While Buddhism was mocked for decades for it's passive behavior towards its oppressors, I was able to understand that many people view the world differently. But this is bullshit."
While he hasn't decided whether the people to bear the full brunt of Buddha's wrath should be the child or his parents who left him unattended, His Holiness did have this to say, "Buddha is patient and karma may not come into play this time around for any members of the family. But I would not be surprised if they were reincarnated as dung beetles or tapeworms in their next life."
