(On January 18, Mother received the Dalai Lama. It should be

noted that Mother had long ago admitted a number of Tibetan

refugees to the Ashram and Auroville.)

Anything to say?

I'd be curious to know what you felt with the Dalai Lama?
A truly benevolent man. Buddhist benevolence, you know, and he practices it marvelously.

He seems to have no ... no selfishness in him (there's no word for it in French). I mean, a constant concern to do the right thing.

I told him Tibet would become independent again. He asked me when. I said, "I don't know." [[Mother replied, "All depends on the world's receptivity to the supramental consciousness." We publish in the Addendum an account of the Dalai Lama's questions and Mother's answers. ]]

Sri Aurobindo's idea was an independent Tibet within a sort of great federation with India. But when will that happen? I don't know.
