Dalai Lama is one of the really interesting people of our time. I have never known what to make of him.

Of course, I don't believe in human "gods" or the like, as many believe him to be, but there is definitely something about him. I'd love the opportunity to meet him and just be in his presence. I think I'd learn a lot about myself and my place and purpose in this life. And maybe become a better person.

And my personal favourite is #5.
