Dalai Lama's Interview on CNN

Yesterday I saw Dalai Lama's interview on CNN. I been to Dharamshala, India twice but never had the opportunity to visit Dalai Lama in person. So the interview on CNN was of interest to me after having seen one of his other interview on Palin's Himalayas series. Compared to other holy man Dalai Lama is very down to earth and that's what make him a great spiritual leader. On a question on Anger the lama replied that he has been working on it and is now a better person than he was 10 yrs, 20 yrs and so on. He is improving and getting more in control of it. Ask that to most other religious head and they will give you a pompous monologue. The one question which not many spiritual leaders of organized religions will not tell you straight about the relation between spirituality and religion and here Dalai Lama scored an ace when he looked straight into the eyes of the interviewer and said one don't need a religion to be a spiritual and repeated the same when asked twice.
