Dans une récente interview, le Dalai Lama a affirmé que la chasteté était préférable aux relations sexuelles pour qui cherche plus d'indépendance et de paix dans sa vie. Selon lui, le "désir sexuel" peut certes apporter une satisfaction à court terme, mais peut aussi conduire à une vie misérable voire à des meurtres ou des suicides.
Mais l'histoire contredit le Dalai Lama. La majorité des grands savants qu'a connu l'humanité n'ont pas mené des vies faites de chasteté, bien au contraire. Les anciens ne disaient-ils pas que "derrière chaque grand homme, il y a une femme" ?
Le Dalai Lama a juré qu'il n'a jamais touché une femme, mais qui pourrait croire ce "grand homme"?!
Sexual intercourse spells trouble, says Dalai Lama
Sexual intercourse provides but fleeting satisfaction, while chastity offers a better life and "more freedom", the Dalai Lama has said.
Conjugal life causes too many "ups and downs", the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters in a Lagos hotel.
"Sexual pressure, sexual desire, actually, I think is short-period satisfaction and, often, that leads to more complication," he said.
"Naturally as a human being...some kind of desire for sex comes, but then you use human intelligence to make comprehension that those relationships are always full of trouble."
Problems arising from conjugal life could even lead to suicide or murder, the Dalai Lama warned.
Moreover, he added, the "consolation" in choosing a life of celibacy is that, although "something" is missing, one can have a life with "more independence, more freedom".
Considered a Buddhist Master exempt from the religion's wheel of death and reincarnation, the Dalai Lama waxed eloquent on the Buddhist credo of non-attachment.
"Too much attachment towards your children, towards your partner," was "one of the obstacles or hindrances of peace of mind," he said.
The Dalai Lama arrived in Nigeria on Wednesday for a three-day visit to attend a conference. He has made no political speeches in the west African country.
