Chrnrezig, the Buddha of Compassion

I am making a specifically historical argument about Christianity.

The Dalai Lama is not a historian. He has no responsibility for knowing what I know about the horrors of Christian colonialism around the world, starting with Columbus. When he says that the foundation of Christianity is compassion, just like Buddhism, he takes Christians at their word, which is only polite.
