THE DAY THE DALAI LAMA INSPIRED ACTOR RICHARD GERE

8/17/2018

 
Writing for Lion's Roar magazine, Richard Gere writes about a moment when the Dalai Lama impacted and inspired him:

"I remember having an intimate conversation with His Holiness many years ago. At one point he touched the tip of his tongue and quietly said, 'This tongue has never lied.'
  What a simple and astonishing statement. It cut right through me. It would be quite unthinkable to believe such a clear and dignified declaration from anyone these days. Deception, self-interest, greed, violence, corruption, and alternate truths are all sadly deemed acceptable, and even expected. Even the President of the United States stands naked in his foolishness. Language has become hollow. Words themselves have lost their sacredness. Grace, kindness, and simple dignity are ridiculed as politically correct."
