The inexcusable gesture of the Dalai Lama trying to tongue kiss a boy

I have never imagined that one day I will write something against the Dalai Lama, and believe me that I find no joy doing it now. Whenever I heard somebody criticizing him I used to point out his good parts, especially his contribution to the salvation of the Tibetan schools in exile, the printing and spreading of various useful books, etc. However, what I saw today shocked me and disgusted me so much that I realized keeping silence would make me an accomplice to something terribly evil.
Here is what happened! Please watch this video carefully for at least ten times, as I myself did,

Yes, dear friends, the Dalai Lama is kissing a child on his mouth, then he says “suck my tongue” and approaches him in a perverse manner with his tongue out of his mouth!
I repeat and you can see this clearly in the video - the Dalai Lama kissed a child on his mouth, said “suck my tongue” and approached him with his tongue out of his mouth! During this time, he laughed accompanied by a bunch of irresponsible adults, nobody having the guts to simply stop him and take the child out of there!
I cannot stop asking myself - was everyone there out of their minds??? How can this be justified in any way, by cultural differences or by saying it was a joke?How can somebody find any excuses to an old man kissing a child on his mouth and telling him “suck my tongue”! These words are clearly audible in the video and everything is authentic. How can a sane adult make such a joke to a child!
There is a limit, a red line that an adult must never cross it and unfortunately the Dalai Lama has just crossed it. Please tell me honestly, what kind of parent would allow an adult to say to his child “suck my tongue” and approach him with his tongue out of his mouth? How can some still refuse to see the clear truth and deny this abomination?
Dear Dharma friends, this is NOT normal! Dear Lamas in the Gelugpa school of Buddhism or those of you who are close to him from other schools, including the Karmapa, the head of Sakya and Nyngmapa, wake up and tell the Dalai Lama that he was wrong! Tell him to issue an apology letter, then retire and never appear in public if he is not in his right mind!
Many nonbuddhists regard the Dalai Lama as the public face of Buddhism. Of course, this is FALSE because he actually represents only one school of Tibetan Buddhism – the Gelugpas. However, this behavior places a very bad image on Buddhism and I saw too many people today drawing false conclusions about Buddhists and especially about Tibetan Buddhism.

Some honest questions naturally come about after this shocking scene:
1) Is Dalai Lama a pervert attracted to children because on that day he really acted like one.
2) If he did that in public and laughed like there was no problem, how do we know he does not do more to children in his private life? Child sexual abuse was mentioned by the young Kalu Rinpoche (click here), so things like this really happened. Don’t get insulted here! Yes, I know it’s the Dalai Lama so how can I ask myself such a thing, but he raised the head of that kid, kissed him on his mouth and told him “suck my tongue”! If he did it now, how can we know this was the first time?
3) Is the Dalai Lama suffering from some kind of mental illness due to advance old age? If this is true, then why nobody dares to ask him to retire and spend the last days of his life in some kind of spiritual retreat. Also, if he suffers from mental illness then how can he be a Bodhisattva or Avalokitesvara himself? A Bodhisattva must have a very clear and sharp mind.
4) How can he be a true tulku/reincarnated Bodhisattva/manifestation of Avalokitesvara/, if he behaves like that? What kind of “crazy wisdom” or compassion is to try to put his tongue in a child’s mouth? I repeat – A CHILD! How can a realized Master say “suck my tongue” to a child!!!
I am not an example of morality, and I am not trying to impose high moral standards to nowadays teachers and masters, especially that we live in the Last Dharma Age (Mappo) when the spiritual capacities of beings are extremely low. Thus, I would not be shocked if I heard that the Dalai Lama was filmed while drinking votca, for example, or partying all night, but doing sexual gestures to a child is UNFORGIVABLE. As I said, there is a red line for any normal human being and that is represented by children! Nobody is allowed to sexualize and touch children in an inappropriate manner.
As a devotee of Amida Buddha in this Last Dharma Age, I am happy that my salvation does not depend on a human guru or Master. Those who laughed at the disgusting pedophile gestures of the Dalai Lama or who try to excuse them are unable to accept that they and their idol are just ordinary people filled with blind passions in desperate need of medical care and Amida’s salvation.
Far from me to deny the great Masters of the past from the Vajrayana tradition or some really good contemporary teachers as I myself am greatly inspired by them when I write about general Buddhist teachings, so I hope this article is not wrongly understood as a critique of the whole Tibetan Buddhism. I’m simply trying to raise the alarm on this case because such a gesture is doing harm to the image of Buddhism in general, especially if we put the dirt under the carpet and pretend that nothing happened.
Respectfully yours in Namo Amida Bu,
Josho
