And even toward those who have killed up to 1.2 million of his people and destroyed 6,254 of his monasteries, he remains remarkably forbearing. "As people who practice the Mahayana Buddhist teaching, we pray every day to develop some kind of unlimited altruism," he says. "So there is no point in developing hatred for the Chinese.

A 1985 poster for a company that makes Buddhist religious articles, for instance, features a high-resolution close-up of a human bone, drenched in dark powder and standing all alone and upright against a white background. In small letters at the bottom is the Zen koan-like non- slogan: "I am an ancestor of the future...
