Enjoyed this video - found the monk Matthieu Ricard quite likeable. Will take a look at his book if I come across it. First time I've seen Google videos - good size screen & quality. Am interested in finding other interesting documentaries to watch - on the range of things of interest typical among FFL members.. so thanks Vaj
