]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> He's said before he would the last Dalai Lama. From wikipedia:

In the mid-1970s His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, told a Polish newspaper that he thought he would be the last Dalai Lama. In a later interview published in the English language press he stated "The Dalai Lama office was an institution created to benefit others. It is possible that it will soon have outlived its usefulness".[16] These statements caused a furor amongst Tibetans in India. Many could not believe that such an option could even be considered. It was further felt that it was not the Dalai Lama's decision to reincarnate. Rather, they felt that since the Dalai Lama is a national institution it was up to the people of Tibet to decide whether or not the Dalai Lama should reincarnate.[17]

]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> He's been the Dalai Lama since he was six...poor guy just never got to have a normal childhood. While all the other Tibetans were going to the drive-in and playing seven minutes in heaven, he was sitting under a Bodhi tree reading sutras.

]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> Maybe they meant to use "resign" in the sportswriter sense, as in "Dalai Lama threatens to resign (with the Dodgers, as long as they play him at second base)."

]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> He would resign from his government-in-exile post, but would remain in his spiritual leader capacity.

]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> I agree, What the heck Dalai? you were chosen AT BIRTH to be their spiritual leader and now you want to head out? I think you should die for what you believe in. I wouldn''t but you should Mr. Lama.

]]> <![CDATA[Dalai Lama threatens to resign]]> I would like to resign from being myself, as the pay and benefits are terrible. Also, I think it would be fun if more abstract concepts started resigning. Like Thanksgiving.
