Synopsis:
If you had the chance to sit down with the Dalai Lama and discuss current issues, what would you ask him?. Fabien Ouaki, a prominent French businessman, used such an opportunity to ask the Dalai Lama for his thoughts on the everyday issues that fill our media and our lives. This is a record of these varied and remarkable conversations. They cover a wide range of topics, from economics to abortion, the environment, marriage and sex, the media and education, disarmament, Marxism, the internet, mind and miracles, ghosts and spirits, altruism and compassion, and finally, the Dalai Lama`s own personal daily practice.
"The mind is key. If anthing should be considered a God, so to speak, it is the mind, not money. A healthy, positive mind is the utmost priority...I find it hard to imagine how a person with great wealth, bad health, no friends, and no peace of mind could feel even slightly happy...inner peace alone can be enough to define happiness...if you are in peace, healthy, and surrounded by trusted friends, surely you can survive without money. But reverse the situation and see what happens. If someone has only money and not the other three elements, then they have nothing but problems." The Dalai Lama.
