That's it... I quit

The Dalai Lama apparently threatened to resign in protest at the growing violence in Tibet and China's claims that he was orchestrating the protests.

I'm no theological expert but I thought he was a re-incarnation of the Buddha ? something that surely means you can't just stick your resignation note in the boss' in-tray and start claiming your pension ?

The Nobel Peace Prize he has on his mantelpiece must also be a fairly good defence against any claims that he is behind the violence.....
