This is typical of disciples. One of my favorite Nietzche quotes has always been, "There are no Christians alive today, the last one died on the cross." Just wait until Jimbo's disciples start quoting him after he's gone. He may never recognize himself when he resurrects. :-)

I swear, the whole Dalai Lama idea makes sense to me now... If the messenger reincarnates -- there is no post-mortem distortion of their words... noone can get up with a new interpretation of a dead man's words... the man is alive in front of you -- in the form of a child.
But, I always speak from ignorance, of course. ;)
