The Dalai Lama has written many excellent books. I would recommend The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace: The Essential Life and Teachings.

You don't have to be a Buddhist to appreciate the wisdom of his thoughts.

I actually met Gandhi's grandson, who lived in my old apartment building for a time, but that doesn't hold a candle to you wife's meeting with Gandhi AND the Dalai Lama. Both look a little waxy, however... :wink:
