In conversation with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In April of 2006,
the prominent Japanese cultural anthropologist Noriyuki Ueda sat
down with the Dalai Lama for a two day conversation. This book is
based on that long and lively conversation in Dharamsala. In this
little book, the two men explore whether there is a place in
religious practice for anger against social injustice, the role of
competition in spiritual life, conditional versus unconditional
love, and the soullessness of materialism. One of the real
pleasures of this book is the Dalai Lama's uncharacteristic candor.
For example: 'I am not only a socialist but also a bit of a
leftist, a Communist.' 'I hold the position of a high monk, a big
lama. Unless I exercise self restraint, there is every possibility
for me to exploit others.' He also argues that rather than
suppressing anger, Buddhism embraces using anger to precipitate
social change. In other words anger can be an important spiritual
practice. This book offers a unique perspective on the Dalai Lama's
political and spiritual views. And it guides the reader through the
complex reality of what it means to practice compassion in the here
and now.
