This guy 『DaLai』, 政客 ? 大師 ?
NEW YORK—An angry and visibly intoxicated Dalai Lama was arrested early
this morning after assaulting a photographer outside the newly revamped
Studio 54 discotheque in Manhattan

The Dalai Lama was arrested on assault and battery charges after punching
and kicking a <I>New York Post</I> photographer outside Studio 54. Shouted
the enraged Buddhist: "You want to eat camera, picture boy?"
Charged with assault and battery, the Buddhist leader, whose real name is
Gejong Tenzin Gyatso, was released on $1,500 bail. The incident marked his
third brush with the law in as many weeks.
According to witnesses, the Precious Sovereign, 61, who had been drinking
heavily all evening, punched and kicked New York Post photographer Mike
Pallas several times after Pallas attempted to take his picture exiting the
famed disco.

Signs of trouble came hours earlier, when the 14th religious and temporal
ruler of Tibet shouted repeated requests for "Bush! I want to hear plenty
more Bush!" When the club DJ responded by playing KC and the Sunshine Band's
"Shake Your Booty," the monk threw a shotglass through the control booth
and invited the DJ to "step outside and kiss the five fingers of
enlightenment."
In addition to the charges against him, the Dalai Lama was cited for
resisting arrest. At first, he refused to give his real name, claiming to be
"the protector, the emanation and the presence on earth of Chen-re-zi," the
Buddhist personification of divine compassion. "And if you not believe," he
added, "you let me out of these cuffs and you get one-way ticket to Nirvana
plenty quick."

When asked where he was born, he responded, "In 1936 in Chhija Nangso, Tibet
... and also in 1876 in Lhasa, Tibet... and also in Nai-tung, Tibet—"
before being gagged and taken away.
