He simply has too much faith in people. It's refreshing, really, but it also makes it hard to take him seriously at times. A teaching passed on by an earlier practitioner is true simply because he was such an upright person so why would he lie?

I know what you are thinking. How could I, somebody who practically worships the ground trod upon by the Great Leader of China, dare to read a book written by an enemy of the state? Maybe I'm not as far gone as everyone thought?

Nah, in all seriousness, even though I despise religion, the Dalai Lama's not the worst bloke around. It's a good primer on Buddhist vocab, which is what I need to move on to advanced books

Readable, but not quite what I expected. I'm not sure what I expected, but it isn't this.
