What Does Tibetan Culture Say About the Action?

In traditional Tibetan culture, sticking out one’s tongue is a show of respect or agreement and was frequently done as a greeting, as per a report by the Institute of East Asian Studies, UC Berkeley. According to Tibetan tradition, a terrible ninth-century Tibetan ruler had a black tongue, thus people put their tongues out to demonstrate that they are not like him (and are not his reincarnation).

in europe they get real close and may quickly kiss you(side cheek and indirectly), but theres a big difference between a french kiss and a customary greeting ritual. wouldnt you say?

"French" kiss or even simple kiss/smack on the lips is for couples only. Then kiss on the cheeks: friends or family only. I think this applies in all Europe.

kiss/smack on the lips in-between family member is just ... Weird.

not going there but i appreciate you being level w/me. I think its actually really good that dalai was man enough to ask for forgiveness. i think more people should admit to their perception of wrong doing and help foster a more accepting and improving world dynamic. in these strange times one can do something, call it temptation, call it hiccups in mirror neurons, call it spiritual persuasion, call it subconscious tv programming yet clearly not mean to and so what should start taking place is forgiveness and tolerance & obviously w/ serious contingencies regardless. Him saying my bad is very good imo. some might try to justify it and that would show the ill intent behind it.
