Ghandi: he went to El Duce meetings (italian fascist) Dalai Lama: has had friends like Heinrich Harrer and Bruno Berger, both former SS nazis. Has thanked Asahara (japanese leader for the sarin sect) for donations
Does that make them evil? When timothy leary was in prison, he was next to charles manson. They probably talked. Does that make leary evil?
That doesn't make them 'evil' it just shows that they weren't perfect, and I beleive that is a horrible analogy because of attending a willing meeting of fascists and talking to a person whom you are confined with are not nearly the same.
