Fun fact: when pressed by events or Himalayokitsch to think of the Dalai Lama, the massive holes in between the few (and generally inaccurate) things we know about him are generally filled with the biography of Gandhi.

Whether this is a result of completely internalizing the party line or a more simple case of lazy racist conflation of any bald Asian men in strange clothes is left as an exercise to the reader. (Be warned: unlike most such exercises, getting this one wrong is liable to make you reincarnate as a crippled queer.)
