Maui filmmaker’s documentary on Dalai Lama to debut…Tom Vendetti met Dalai Lama during his visit to Maui in 2007
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was asked in a new Rolling Stone magazine interview about any advice he could offer about coping with coronavirus anxiety.
“This pandemic is very serious,” he said. “We’re just so afraid. That’s not useful.”
And then, quoting the 8th century Indian sage Shantideva, he continued, “If the problem can be overcome, then no need to worry; make effort to overcome. If no way to overcome the problem, there’s no use to much worry.”
Tibet’s spiritual leader has been disseminating wisdom for decades, through books, articles, interviews and live presentations like the one he gave on Maui at the War Memorial Stadium to more than 10,000 in 2007.
