Read? What do you mean? Anyone can choose their own honorific. But if you're the Dalai Lama, you can get people to use it. Especially if you explain that the one they were using is misleading.

As I said, you can practice Buddhism without the supernatural parts, but in doing so you may not want to use the religious trappings (like "His Holiness" and capitalizing pronouns) where you don't need to.

When people try to claim that science is a religion, I'm not going to help them out by talking about His Holiness Albert Einstein.
