In the Buddhism culture, the pray for the misfortune victim means to make a devout or earnest request for them to Buddha. It did a solemn and serious occasion.If it is in other occasion, Dalai’s humour maybe could be apprehended. However, the pray is a differnent situation.At least, I don’t think it is “a way to bring people together”. Who people? ALL those people who lost their family members? It is not necessary, because all they have the same deep feeling of grief, they did together. Or the departed saint and their folks? By this frolicsome way? NO, it is a kind of desecrating both to the dead and the living.

The Dalai Lama’s visit to Taiwan, though it sparked some anger from neighboring China, was worth it in the end – while some argue that his visitations are always politically charged, I hope his prayers for the victims and victims’ families brought some hope to people of the Kaohsiung. There’s more on the relations between China and Taiwan at http://www.asiachroniclenews.com. Worth a read I think.
