The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Buddhism. He was picked out for this role as a small child and groomed in Buddhist beliefs all his life.
Now from what I understand, he's also a deeply compassionate and forgiving person. He has been quoted as saying something like (paraphrased by me from memory): "(when China took over Tibet and caused him to have to flee for his life) I was in danger of failing to forgive the Chinese"
He worried about loving and forgiving the Chinese more than he worried about his own safety.
In other words he is forgiving and loving to a very high degree.
Now, assuming this is a Catholic/Christian universe, assuming all love has it's source from God, and assuming that his upbringing indoctrinated him quite firmly into Buddhism (and continues to do so), do you think that Jesus will have Mercy on him when he dies and allow him into Heaven?
Remember, this is a hypothetical question working under the assumption of a Catholic/Christian universe!
