Focus instead on saving yourself, your loved ones, and your own community. [/quote] You obviously lack knowledge about Tibet. Maybe you should study about a subject before talking about it. [/quote] No, you need to study the history of Tibet under Buddhist Lama rule. I think you're going to be pretty surprised just how un-romantic that place is. Only in the rarest cases would I ever suggest this, but the people of Tibet probably never had it so good than they have it now under communist rule. [/quote] We can always trust the Communists to give us the straight dish. [/quote]
Original Message
How do you reconcile a commitment to non-violence when faced with violence? Why do the poor often seem happier than the rich? Must a society lose its traditions in order to move into the future? These are some of the questions posed to His Holiness the Dalai Lama by filmmaker and explorer Rick Ray. Ray examines some of the fundamental questions of our time by weaving together observations from his own journeys throughout India and the Middle East, and the wisdom of an extraordinary spiritual leader. This is his story, as told and filmed by Rick Ray during a private visit to his monastery in Dharamsala, India over the course of several months
