yes, the middle way path is a bit lost on me overall and I went immoderate crazy wisdom instead for many years, because that is all I could experience and do back then. I really dont want to associate myself with the 15th dalai lama though I belived that story for many years. i am truly not that gifted and especially, not that kind in words. i hope she is a good 15th dalai lama but she may be, like all dalai lama except the 13th, an ordinary being simply, with an extraordinary life. I pray she is good for tibetan buddhism and not just immoderate and modern like I always thought she would be.
