Okay, I should have given the idea a second thought. OTOH, see for 
yourself:

http://www.google.com/trends/?q=xah+lee,dalai+lama&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0

Esp. "xah lee does not have enough search volume for ranking"...

For me, the conclusion is simple. If he wants to achieve anything, he 
should mimic Dalai Lama first and only after becoming comparable to the 
guy, if he's still dissatisfied, only then he should follow OBL. But by 
all means he should stop being himself. If becoming DL-like is too hard (I 
believe it is), he might find something even easier, like Miyamoto 
Musashi, a sword/Zen master.
