The person I would like to speak to

Our world is full of bright and famous people. And  when I was asked whom I would like to speak to I had just an idea to write about Dalai Lama. Every person has his own ideal and my ideal is Dalai Lama. I definitely know that his name is associated with kindness, honesty, wisdom and faith, of course. If I have a chance to meet and talk to him I would like to discuss many important things.  I do strong believe that this meeting and conversation would change my inner world greatly.

My first question would be about people’s values like piece, friendship, love. Are they immortal? Also I am interested in, why these things are always important.

Then I would like to know about his attitude to wars. I would like to find out whether it is possible to live without wars. Some politicians believe that wars are means of solving world’s problems.

In my opinion, war is terrible thing which destroy everything on it’s way. Just remember wars in Chechnya and Iraq!

As I know, there are three main confessions in the world: Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. I would ask Dalai Lama why a lot of people refuse from their own religion and fake Buddhism. I wonder what is so special in it. And really, I was astonished to know that many famous people like Richard Gear, Stiven Sigal, Elvis Presley follow Buddhism. I would like to know if Buddhism can be the main and prevailing confession.

The next thing I would like to clear up is about people’s reincarnation. They say that all people can reborn and they carry their genealogy’s sign. Is it faithful when new generation takes responsibility for ancestor’s deeds?

Also I am eager to know his opinion about such problems as ecological disasters as earthquakes like tornados, epidemics and etc. Why do they break so often? How can people overcome such difficulties without loosing their hope and faith?

Nowdays the youth is faced to such temptation as drugs, alcohol, money, fame. It is important for me to know to the given questions, especially could the youth solve such problems.

The last thing is about the growing number of Buddhist’s temples. It seems to me that our religion sometimes becomes only like a fashion.

Well, it’s time to finish and I still have an idea to meet Dalai Lama in reality and get answers to my questions.
