“The conversations recounted in this book took place at McLeod Ganj, near Dharamsala, in northern India, in February 1994, and more accurately at Thekchen Choling monastery, where the Dalai Lama lives. I went there on February 10 and attended the New Year Festival of Tibet started at fiveam 11 February. I stayed in McLeod Ganj for two weeks.
Before the trip, at the request of the Dalai Lama, I wrote several letters to present to you the topics I wanted to mention. All of these topics are related to the role of Buddhism in today's world as people think and the increasingly powerful appeal of this religion. We want to talk about Buddhism in its relationship with our daily life, with politics, with other religions and other traditions, especially highlight three issues: violence, environment and education.

Since both the Dalai Lama and I are not only intended for readers to read as professionals (I am not one of them), but to let as many readers read as possible, I quickly realize that there must be some explanations mixed in the content of our conversation.
It can be said that the Dalai Lama has a very deep understanding of the concepts he has made. I'm a little aware of those concepts, and most of our readers may not know, or understand at a bargain level, which means misunderstanding. Therefore, with your consent, I have decided to interrupt the conversation whenever necessary to explain a point and put it in reference documents. Of course, this whole book has been reviewed by you and your partners.
Our conversations took place in the living room in Thekchen Choling. Each time lasts about three hours. We speak English, but quite often, the Dalai-
