Should we be concerned about the comments His Holiness the Dalai Lama made about the appearance of a female successor?

Having a female successor is no small matter, so it is possible that His Holiness is taking the focus off the important matter by these odd comments on an unimportant factor. Or perhaps he is simply stating a time-limited, historically constrained fact: in today's times, being attractive seems more important to many people than being deeply enlightened.

Most likely, in my opinion, is that His Holiness Is saying, with his usual impish humor, that he will do better in terms of appearance in the incarnation he chooses ... next time!

The Buddhist leader also rehashed past controversial comments about refugees in his latest BBC interview.

Losar (Tibetan New Year) is the most important holiday in the Tibetan community, and it falls this year in the first weeks of February, which I love, since I associate it with our Saint Valentine's Day holiday. Each Tibetan year is associated with an element (Earth, Air, Wind, Water, or Metal) and an animal (one of twelve different animals). This year is the Tibetan Year of the Earth Pig, which sounds amazingly auspicious to me, somehow!

Begin this Tibetan Year of the Earth Dog with an act of generosity -- we can all use a lot more of that in the coming year!

May we each and all manifest the miracle of incarnation fully, generously, and joyfully on this Holy Day celebrating divinity incarnate!

On this winter solstice, when our longest, darkest days turn a brighter season, we are proud to stand with the people of Tibet, whose difficult and dark days seem to stretch forward without end. May we make all that endears the people of Tibet to this world manifest in dark days and light!

Acts of violence reveal the pain of a life without meaning, yet every person, in every moment, has the opportunity to create meaning. Rather than destroy, let us create!
