Seduced by the Dalai Lama
He may be a global icon of goodness, as Pico Iyer's biography reminds us. But is the Dalai Lama the political leader Tibet needs?
By Louis Bayard [2008-03-25]

  • "After all, he asks so little of us..."

    For Western audiences, at least, the message boils down to the equivalent of a Benetton ad: Be nice, live happy.

    I find a serious code of ethics in his message. Maybe he does asks a lot of us: to find these things on our own rather than take them from a creed.
