A Prophet is Only Despised in His Own Country

I completed reading the Dalai Lama’s autobiography. The compassion of the man is extraordinary. He has been exiled from his country for half a century; his people have been intimidated, tortured, killed, and are now a minority in their own country thanks to Chinese mass immigration.

Imagine how we would feel if this had been done to us by our neighbours. Yet he refuses to attack the Chinese character.

A prophet is only despised in his own country and in his own house.

Matt 13:54-58
