In the month of November Geshela Dorje Damdul visited us. This was a very special event since he is not only the director of the Tibet House but also a very sophisticated philosophy teacher who is conducting many courses in the whole world.
So Geshela (buddhist doctortitle) quickly asked the students about the sense of life which the students answered in different ways. For some of them the sense of life simply was to respire and live and enjoy the pleasures of life. For the others the sense of life consisted in helping one another and to make others happy. The last group proclaimed that there was no sense in life at all. This has been a challange and a provokation for the buddhist monch who himself exclaimed that every human being is searching for good luck/fate, although this good fate might differ from one another, however this seems to bet he greatest longing in the human being and therefore the greatest sense in life.
Both, the elder and the younger students enjoyed his wise presence and provoked his logical and also humoreous capability of argueing. As a consequence intensive thoughts had been exchanged which occupied the students for a long time.
