Sorry to digress from Annie's life story. To add on to the comment on hypocrisy, I felt that the Dalai Lama should not flee and left his disciples to face the authorities upon hearing that the authorities are trying to kill him. If he truly believe in reincarnation, and had lived a righteous life, death will only bring about the next better life and a step closer to nirvana. By choosing to flee, what does that tell your disciples? 成何体统?
