He's also the person that was at the head of a country that saw 1.5 
million of its inhabitants murdered and its entire culture and 
religion devastated.

I don't want to blame the victim here, but the Dalai Lama must at 
least take some degree of responsibility for the horrors that befell 
Tibet.  And his bastardization of the entire cult of non-violence 
is, IMHO, responsible to a very great degree.

Why this man got a Nobel Peace Prize I'll never know.

I also enjoyed reading the article, as I have enjoyed many other texts
by the Dalai Lama.
In him I perceive a person with clarity of reason and compassion of
heart  and with capacity  of integrating to a whole the modern
scientific evolving world and ancient wisdom. He is ready to question
ancient texts, if modern  scientific empirical evidence shows
otherwise. He has been capable of  changing his position in the for
him important issue of liberating Tibet from the occupation by China
and accepts it now. He is humble and wise.

Being intimately familiar with both systems there is a vast difference between these two systems in terms of breadth and depth. TM would represent a basic meditation practice whereas the inner tantras represent a profound and comprehensive technology of higher consciousness. While there are superficial similarities, in terms of practice and techniques, one goes far beyond the other. This particular lecture is but one of many given over the last decade--actually many have already been published--but definitely worth reading if the crossroad of science and spirituality interest you.

This article is such a pleasure to read.  In fact, it seems as if the Dalai 
Lama is picking up 
where MMY left off back in the 70's.  This is the kind of reasoned, no-hype, 
generous 
discussion that I had thought the TMO would be leading to.  MMY and all the 
hype must be 
doing something, but I would think that this style of conversation and research 
influences 
so many more people.  Such different approaches to essentially the same stuff.
