Not really a protest sign, but THIS is how religious leaders should be. I know the Dalai Lama has his own regressive beliefs, but I think being willing to say "We might not have everything figured out and should embrace new discoveries" instead of "BELIEVE EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK OR GO TO HELL!!!!1111ONEONE!!!" is a huge step up from most prominent religious leaders. Hell, he even willingly abdicated his position as the leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile in favor of a democratically-elected one, has said that he would be open to his followers electing his successor before he dies, rather than relying on the cycle of reincarnation and has said that if Tibet's independence is ever restored, the lamas shouldn't enjoy the political power they did before.
