A strange interview with the Dalai Lama

I am two days late with my blogging duties, but I have been very busy in the last few days and I haven't had much time to do anything other than working and having a quick look at some of my favourite weblogs. So, yesterday I came across this interview to the Dalai Lama, though only a couple of hours ago I could have the reading finished.

A journalist at The Independent, Johann Hari—the author of the interview—blogs at johannhari.com and Harry’s Place. According to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, if you look at his belly Johann “appears to have two stomachs”. Being called a minger by the Pope is what he is likely to expect from the future. What else? Well, he says …

I don't think the Dalai Lama likes me. He looks tetchy; he narrows his eyes in my direction, then looks at his watch.

Please read the interview to understand why …
