If the new buddha is the Sangha, and it IS, then we need to stop pedestaling these guru types. Maybe this is coming to light to hasten the process.

Holy shit, its Yoga bunny! 
Eric, Synchronicity is never that dramatic. Thats like movie stuff. Its more like you havr a thought such as "i wonder how my Mom is doing" and then she calls you seconds later after that thought.

The title of this thread is really click bate though. I know this shit is bad, but on the list of absolutely horrible things happening in the world right now, this is pretty low down on that list.

Precisely my thinking when I heard about this. Maybe this will shake his followers up to look a little deeper within and strengthen their own ‘faith’

Every time a religion elevates a human above all others, abuse seems tio happen.
Divinity as it reveals itself to me urges me to tell people that it wants you to let nothing and no one come between it and you.
No golden bull, no holy book, no guru.
you have a direct connection with the universe entirely, link up diretly, the original spirituality.

You're thinking is out of context. Kissing is not a thing in most of oriental Asia. The DalaiLama is a bit mischeveous in breaking expectations. It's a weird thing done intentional for an effect, not a sexual advance

I'm only here because I'm recovering from surgery and not supposed to be out and about.
Look out, people, we have a super important person who has graced us with their presence after years of getting awards and solving real life crises (not those fake life crises we all tend to solve).
Thank you, Eric, for being such an outstanding citizen. 
Yeah, that was really cringey to read...
Sure, Asante asked why he took a break...but Eric took the opportunity to flex, and pose on his pedestal.

No, it's not at all more like that.
A few posts up, you thought a few negative occurrences in one day = synchronicity, so I made a point to emphasize the key aspects that make synchronicity what it is. You obviously didn't know what it was and, for some reason, I bothered to take the time to explain it to you even though I don't know you. And this is what you come back with?
What you described has an aspect of synchronicity, but is really just a case of simple coincidence. Many people online who don't understand synchronicity (clickbait authors, etc) often list this as their prime example of synchronicity, but they're wrong and they don't understand why. They usually don't know the difference between serendipity and synchronicity. You also have that same confusion. You stated that synchronicity is usually positive. No, that's serendipity.
Synchronicity has two parts: meaningful coincidence + no causal relation
You described something (mom calling) that, statistically, WILL certainly happen sooner or later and will usually have an easily identifiable cause for happening. The cause of it is usually sitting right in front of your face, yet you just never noticed. Follow the logic here...
24h in a day - up to 10h for sleep = 14h remaining - up to 12h for a work shift = 2h remaining - let's just say 1h of random things that require you to be away from your phone and busy __________________________________________________________________ = only a 1h time period during a given day with this schedule that your mother could potentially call to talk with you. __________________________________________________________________
Her schedule that day could easily narrow this down to a 5min period. Even if it doesn't, it would be far from synchronic if she calls you right after you think of her at any point during the given timeframe.
This is an exaggerated example only meant to help you understand what is and what is not synchronicity. There are also many more things that go into a person's day that could confine the call to an even shorter potential period of occurrence, especially when Mom's schedule with limiting factors is added into the equation.
Or, it could be as simple as this. Maybe you and your mother, when you do speak, always call each other at 3pm but never really noticed that fact. You haven't talked in a week. At 3pm one day, you think and she instantly calls. Nothing special about that. There's a definite cause for the occurrence.
Just because you didn't recognize the causal connection, doesn't mean something special has occurred. There is usually an easily identifiable set of causes dictating when people have free time to think and make calls. Statistically, this isn't as special as you think it is.
Now, if you haven't seen, heard from, or thought about your mother in 20 years....if you randomly think about her and then the phone starts ringing, that would be synchronicity.

Its still synchronicity, just under different timescales (one being daily, the other being a 20 year gap in time). Its just your example has a higher probability of synchronicity occurring as the person thinks of their more often. Theres a precision aspect to synchronicity, from imprecise to very precise. A full spectrum of thought-event-time linkage.

No, it's not and I explained exactly why in a clear and detailed manner.
If there is a causal relationship, there can be no synchronicity.

I forgot about that shit I used to take a huge amount of ecstasy to synchronicity 1 which I thought was 2 which totally blows the other one out the water. Unbelievably profound.
