liresiusRamona Koval (ABC Radio ~ The Book Show) discussing a book by Indian, Pankaj Mishra in which he discusses his meeting with the Tibetan poet and essayist Wosa (dissenter against Chinese occupation of Tibet) to Robert Silvers (NY Review of Books).
"In August this year [2007] the officially atheist Chinese regime passed legislation effectively banning Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission."
*cracks up*
Is there anyone else around that thinks this is completely, hilariously absurd (that is if it wasn't about cultural oppression)?
