This taken with other signs including, use of the swastika, funded mission to Tibet, his “supernatural” ability to control people and the idea that tulku (incarneate beings) often fall from a state of enlightenment if not nurtured in the proper enviroment. Leads me to the question… Does anyone think Hitler was a fallen Lama? Has anything been written on the subject?

Harlan Ellison wrote a short story, “Hitler Painted Roses” published in his anthology Strange Wine. I cannot find a synopsis but, as I remember the protagonist finds Hitler painting flowers in hell.

I didn’t mean Hitler was good just sympathetic. I also did not mean in this life, I mean he had karma that is difficult to explain. One must acknowledge that he had extra-ordinary talents. The fact that they were distorted in the emanation of Adolf Hitler is undeniable. Why anyone should care about his previous lives, I cannot answer but, it seems so much about him is a distortion of the Dharma. Like the Buddha in a carnival mirror. I also meant that other for example Harlan Ellison have explored this dichotomy.
