No I got what the Lama is trying to do, I just can't believe someone thinks it is funny.
And it is not ironic it is desperate.

The fact that he believes he will not reincarnate says a lot regarding what he might know about what's coming..interesting times we are living in for sure.
I love the Lama look through my topics.
the fact he said stupid made me laugh, I bet he has a sense of humor.

If I understand the buddha thing .... those who have reached enlightenment can choose to come back to help those still incarnating, or not. If this Dalai Lama doesn't want to come back, he doesn't have to. That's what I get from reading 'Buddhism for Dummies'. (So I could have gotten it wrong.)

Interesting,
I want to know do we have a choice whether to reincarnate or not?

I think only the Bodhisattvas choose to come back. They do so in order to help others. The rest of us are forced to because of our unfinished karma, etc. (If I am following the 'Buddhism for Dummies' book correctly).
Kuan Yin (pronounced koo-wan'yin), or "she who hears the weeping world" is the Chinese Buddhist bodhisattva of Compassion.
