Not him in person, but maybe someone on his staff or something. Although in hindsight it seems naive, I think I was blinded by the fact that so many people are recognizing Twitter as an important information channel after Obamas triumph. It's a very interesting phenomena though that the charlatan managed to become among the most followed persons on Twitter in just a couple of days. I don't think it's because of the Bhuddism thing so much as him being a really famous person. I wonder what other persons one can fake and get the same result?

It’s a very interesting phenomena though that the charlatan managed to become among the most followed persons on Twitter in just a couple of days. I don’t think it’s because of the Bhuddism thing so much as him being a really famous person. I wonder what other persons one can fake and get the same result?

I never knew Bhuddism was so popular in the west. I kind of wish the charade had gone on for longer. C’mon. Did you REALLY think it was the Dalai Lama? I’m surprised at how many people fell for it.
