Questão 2

Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing or at  least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him  feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and  temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an  increasingly popular speaker and statesman. Why is he  so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in  his presence you can't help feeling happier. If you ask  him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of  his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional  yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the  purpose of life, and that “the very motion of our life is  towards happiness". How to get there has always been  the question. He's tried to answer it before, but he's never  had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in  a context we can easily understand.
