I love Time interviewers. they're so soft, and they always have this calm look - not a cold, insipid look, just a calm look. and even when they express reactions and stuff, it is always in a shy way. it's really pleasant to watch.

If US uses Dalai Lama for their political agenda then thats their bad.I am athiest and basically dalai lama for me is the ideal exemplification of what human being should be.A gentle spirit who speaks after thinking and does not invoke god in his talks as contemporory religious leaders.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama gives precious teachings but many persons don’t speak English. A lot of people would like to understand what His Holiness says and put it into practice. Thank you so much to translate in other languages His Holiness teachings.

[msubswithoutavid]

I am a Buddhist and I have been practicing meditation for about two years now my best advice is breath in for 3 seconds and breath out for 4 and yes the Dalai Lama is right it is impossible to push anger deep down it’s best to actually show what you're feeling but you never want things to keep you down.

I just love his holiness. He is so human and so enlightened in a universal or global way.
He said he is not special and that makes him more special even.

I cannot imagine how difficult it must be "being on" all the time(media). Props to HHDL.  Exiled from his homeland; working to make the world a better place for all; no (few) complaints. How many of us can say we are up for a similar task?

[Cradboradfy]

Props for the journalist throwing in a mel brooks reference. The Dalai Lama seems like a cool down to earth guy, i wish more political or influential figures were.

[thelonehunt]

All of our leaders should be this way. Intelligent beyond the stars but humble below the earth.
