Take into account that great love & great achievements involve great risk.Let us all remember The Dalai Lama’s 18 Rules for Living: The second time I received it today via a Newsletter of a respected Buddhist organization, included in the Losar New Years’ greetings of a most wonderful, kind and wise teacher. The first time I received it via a Powerpoint presentation attached to an email asking me to share it within 96 hours with many people, claiming tremendous benefit I would receive by spreading it. Did Gen.This week I got twice the “18 Rules for Living” attributed to the Dalai Lama."Did attack dogs bite a little girl in the face at pipeline protest in North Dakota?" (No).Part 7: We should all be like Denmark, remember?.Part 6: Denmark has Free Healthcare, sort of.Part 5: Denmark has Free Childcare : No, it does not.Part 4: Denmark has Free University (yes but read why).Part 3: Denmark has a 33 hour work week (No, it does not).Part 2: Denmark has a $20/hour minimum wage (No, it does not).Part 1: Denmark is the world’s happiest nation because of the following reasons (Not true).The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds. The planet does not need more successful people. It becomes a combination of leveraging someone’s authority but also relies on transferring respect for the individual shown to respect for the idea being promoted.Īnother fake quote from the Dalai Lama – but using the same photo! – may be found here. Each is an attempt to associate a prominent figure, the figure’s authority and the viewer’s potential reverence for that authority, to the propaganda meme.
This is similar to the numerous fake quotes attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Indeed, there are a LOT of fake Dalai Lama quotes (see ). Just look online and find this quote, now attributed to Dalai Lama, everywhere online. This is another example of how social media has manufactured a “new fact” that is not true. But by associating the quote with the Dalai Lama, the quote is given an air of superiority and importance. From a propaganda perspective, if the quote were shown next to a picture of a professor you do not know or recognize, the poster would not have much impact.
