Kamal meets Dalai Lama

Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan recently met the Dalai Lama along with Gautami and in this regard he had issued a press note that reads as follows:

“This morning I met the Dalai Lamaji. I have always admired his resilience and purpose. Being a fan of Gandhiji, it is not to too farfetched to become his admirer. Despite the fact that I am a rationalist and hence not spiritually bent, my meeting was invigorating and felt purposeful.

My lack of interest in matters of things spiritual in nature was matched by his disinterest in cinema. ‘I have not watched a single movie not even Television," he told me with a smile. Yet he opined that I could use my craft and medium to propagate the great philosophy offered to the world by India: Ahinsa. I confirmed my faith in Ahinsa and said I will venture soon in that direction. For a man of his position he indulged in small talk with abandon, a sign of a man who had no worldly worries. Above all he loved the company of strangers”.
