Riassunto

The Dalai Lama represents a great culture centered on a wisdom tradition that has survived intact into modern times. And the fragility of our times is demonstrated by the fact that even that culture survives only in exile. Science and technology have brought immense control over nature, but power without wisdom is dangerous. We need to balance our modern capabilities with an ancient wisdom. His Holiness the Dalai Lama often speaks of the interconnectedness of all things. In a sense, that means we are all in this together. He has said, also, that just because these times are so dire, it is a great honor to be alive now, at this moment, on this planet. It is we who bear the responsibility, who face the challenge, who must take care of the planet, not just for ourselves, but for the future and for our children.

Informazioni sull?autore

Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has been the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet since 1951, when he was sixteen years old. Since 1959, he has lived in exile in Dharamsala, India, teaching and practicing Buddhism, and serving as the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile. He travels worldwide, sharing the teachings of Buddhism and working to preserve the educational, cultural, and religious institutions of Tibet. In 1989, the week of these dialogues, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to find a nonviolent solution to the Tibetan quest for independence. He is the author of The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living (Riverhead, 1998); How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life (Atria, 2001); The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality (Broadway, 2006); How to See Yourself as You Really Are (Atria, 2007).
