Lama, Dalai (14th), Seyyed Hossein Nasir, Jonathan Sacks and Katherine Jefferts Schori. "Pursuing Happiness." On Being (September 15, 2014) ["The XIV Dalai Lama seems to many to embody happiness — happiness against the odds, a virtue that is acquired and practiced. Before a live audience in Atlanta, Georgia, Krista had a rare opportunity to mull over the meaning of happiness in contemporary life with him and three global spiritual leaders: a Muslim scholar, a chief rabbi, and a presiding bishop. An invigorating and unpredictable discussion exploring the themes of suffering, beauty, and the nature of the body."]
