Great topic Dottore, I have never met the Dalai Lama but know a couple of people that have. Those I know, all seem to have taken something special out of the encounter. Without a healthy "preference" for the state of life (as opposed to death), ones life would either be woefully short or likely, completely without joy.....quite possibly both. IMHO an individuals concept of death, in many ways is what defines their approach to life, whether it be priorities, risk aversion, empathy...etc. I'm not sure if I could say that I do not fear death, but I accept it's constant presence. Even though I prefer the the live state and would do a great many things to preserve it. Cheers
