Question: The Dalai Lama is an inspirational figure to millions who incur substantial travel and time costs to attend his lectures and absorb his wisdom. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, he gave most of the money to religious and charitable organizations. Are you sure he was acting altruistically rather than selfinterestedly? When he goes on lecture tours, he generally flies first class, although coach would be far cheaper. Are you sure he is acting self-interestedly rather than altruistically?
