Hardly arrogant. He’s only very politely pointing out the hypocrisy on the part of His Holiness.

Unfortunately the Dalai Lama is wrongly representing Buddhism and he is not even Buddhist.
Thank You Paul. All my respect.

No one needs to eat meat for medical reasons. Period. Amino acids from plants build the best kind of proteins because they are not used. The Dalai Lama needs to learn kindness to animals.

If the Dalai Lama truly believes in nonviolence and compassion, then he will quit eating meat. One would expect a true believer of those virtues to be consistent. At the moment, he is being hypocritical.

He’s hardly “the most enlightened man on the planet” if he eats animals. His “doctors” are old-school idiots who haven’t bothered to study nutrition, and Sir Paul is correct to point this out.

There are three rules we should live by in this life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind and the third is to be kind. Animals are not ours to eat. They exist for their own reasons- Ingrid Newkirk
Paul is more compassionate than the Dalai Lama. Thank you Paul!

to all of you who said “live and let live”
…well that’s the point! let live! not live and kill other beings!!!
I don’t know anything about Paul McCartney’s personal life or personality but It’s not arrogant to ask others to respect life, the health of the planet and politics around food and food production, all of which are impacted when people choose to eat meat.
It’s also not wrong to give your opinion. You don’t have to agree. the Dali Llama doesn’t have to agree. But Paul has the right to say his opinion. He’s not forcing him to comply…
That’s all….

Paul tell’s it like it is. The Dalai Lama obviously has no faith otherwise he would surely except the sufferings of this world without the need to make others suffer for his potential benifit. He is not worthy of his title and I believe he is harmful to the spiritual growth of those who follow him.

Paul, I’m a Vegetarian and all, but go after someone really worthy, like Ted Nugent.

I think it took a lot of courage for Paul to represent the welfare of animals to someone who should know better!
