The so called reincarnation in fact is just a man-made system ...

The crowds who still chant John Paul's name in St. Peter's Square, and the countless individuals praying to his soul, are counting on him reaching those two respective thresholds faster than either Mother Teresa or Escriva. Polish President Lech Kaczynski said Monday that he understood from an oblique response from Vatican Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone that John Paul would be made a saint by 2010. A more credible hint that the wait will be relatively short was Benedict's declaration Monday that "in the communion of saints, it seems we can hear the living voice of our beloved John Paul II, who from the house of his father, we are sure, continues to accompany the Church." In other words, for the current Pope, John Paul is already among the chosen few.

...

Still, canonization causes do often begin with popular movements, and are brought forth from the diocesan level of the Church hierarchy to the Holy See for consideration. John Paul's cause is being presented by the dioceses of both Rome and Krakow, where he was Archbishop. This week they presented mounds of evidence of his virtues, and at least one miracle said to be credited to his intercession, to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Officials will study the case of Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, a 46-year-old French nun diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease — the same illness that afflicted the late Pope — that inexplicably disappeared two months after John Paul had died. The typical procedure to verify a person's saintliness includes the equivalent of a trial, which includes a lawyer arguing against the cause (who gave name to the expression the "Devil's Advocate"), and doctors testifying to the proof that purported miracles have no scientific explanation. A post-mortem miracle must be verified to reach beatification, and a second for canonization.

Angus,

Indeed. Not to be in any way sacrilegious, but In my opinion it's better to idolize the dead than to idolize the living.

部分摘录：

人类不是单一的种族，谁都热爱自己家乡的土地。不错，任何一个国家不会容忍暴徒，但跑到别人家里喧宾夺主，在哪一个国家也一定招人怨恨。中国政府赶走藏人的精神领袖、再以减免税的手段奖励汉人去西藏从商的政策和汉人在别人的土地上耀武扬威、不顾主人感受的行径难道不要反思么。

从这里的讨论，可以看出不仅大陆的人士有“偏见”，西方“自由世界”的人士的知识也有“偏见”和“局限性”，都容易受媒体的误导。只是在自己的环境下呆多了，不自知而已。

西藏的“精神领袖”，历史上最多时有上百个，他们相互争斗，抢夺对藏民的主导权。清朝的时候，当时的清皇朝从这上百个“精神领袖”中扶植出达赖和班禅两支，这种局面延续至今。

达赖和班禅的"领袖地位"，本来就是中央政府扶植出来的。

另外，以前西藏中还有农奴制。不知奴隶主算不算需要尊重的精神领袖。有一首流行的歌曲“阿姐鼓”，不知有多少人了解它的背景，阿姐鼓是生杀少女，用少女的皮肤制成的鼓。

As I stressed before, the point is: We can never take the past wrongdoings to justify our present wrongdoings.

如果要关心，应该关心民众的利益，而不是关心这样一个政治人物和他的小团体的利益。
