"This was a very pleasant and grounding way to spend an hour and some odd minutes. The Dalai Lama sat down with a few different "panels" of guests talking about the state of the world. Guests included a few of my personal favorites including Dr. Helen Caldicott, Susan Sarandon and Dennis Kucinich. They discussed many aspects of what I see as one central problem in our world today. Lack of consciousness and people not recognizing their own power to inact positive change. The program has a lovely and powerful energy to it and even though nothing was said that I didn't already know, it provided a very healthy, grounding, reminder to me of what I already know. Which is so important when even the best of us can get knocked off balance by the stresses of day to day life. We need to stay in touch with what we already know to be true or what good can we be in the world. The Dalai Lama can, also, be quite funny. There was one point in the program where I, and the rest of the audience,laughed out loud. A very worth while program."
