Talk:Tenzin Gyatso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] English
If the current Dalai Lama speaks excellent English, as the article claims, why does he have an interpreter, and have his books reviewed by his interpreter (as noted in "The Art of Happiness" and "The Art of Happiness at Work")? I've also found online articles that refer to his "broken English". The claim that he speaks excellent English sounds suspect to me, so I'm changing it to just that he speaks English.

- I heard him spesk on TV briefly. Couldn't tell if he's eloquent in English or not. But his pronuciation was okay. The accent wasn't too strong. Either way, I cannot attest to his fluency. Although that remark certainly impressed me greatly. --Menchi 07:31, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Title
What about the fact that he is considered by some to have been erroneously identified? I haven't included this in my edit because I don't know exactly what this is about. --Anon
What was wrong with the original location, Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama? --Jiang 07:26, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- No idea; British royalty titles are like that, generally... :-? ugen64 23:18, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)
Of course I mean Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama...stupid me, not checking. At any rate, given that he's universally called the "Dalai Lama", this seems to be on a par with including British peers' titles, isn't it? john k 07:26, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
the article being simply called tenzin gyatso is really stupidly needlessly secularised, the whole war i saw here around about a year ago (instigated by pro china users) about using the words 'his holiness' apparently sounding too 'endeering' is rediculous, certainly it is at least stupid not to include the words dalai lama in the title. for anyone who disagrees, please tell me why the article for the pope is titled 'pope benedict the sixteenth' rather than 'Joseph Alois Ratzinger'.
