Should not the Swiss Science meets Dharma Project by Tibetan Institute in Rikon Switzerland also be controlled independendently from the Dalai Lama and the honorary board of trustees of the institute? Controlled independently by the Swiss Federal Council, after that we found out, that Kunchok Lungtog, Buddhist monk from India who participated in the Swiss Science meets Dharma Project did not know that the earth is a sphere? Or be controlled independently by a voting of the Swiss people in Swiss direct democracy, if the goals of the project eventually should be changed? The project is partly publicly funded.
