The Dalai Lama as You've Never Heard Him Before. A few years ago, prominent cultural anthropologist Noriyuki Ueda sat down with the Dalai Lama for a lively two-day conversation. This little book is the result. In it are some surprising truths and commonsense wisdom. "The attachment that seeks what is good is worthwhile. Seeking enlightenment is a kind of attachment that we should keep, as is the desire for an unbiased heart." "Anger that is motivated by compassion or a desire to correct social injustice, and does not seek to harm anyone, is a good anger worth having." "I'm not only a socialist, but also a bit of a leftist, a Communist." "The type of competition that says, 'I am the winner, and you are the loser' must be overcome. But a positive competition allows us to lift each other up so that everybody ends up on top." Open the book to any page and find great wisdom on what matters most.
