Wisdom and a serene look at life. These are some of the attitudes that Hollywood stars surely wanted to learn when they met His Holiness the Dalai Lama..

Yesterday Wednesday the current Dalai Lama, Tenzi Gyatso, was an exceptional guest at the California Science Center, during his trip to the United States, where he has also met with President Obama, which has caused unrest among the Chinese authorities. The Tibetan spiritual leader held a lively gathering organized by the Lourdes Foundation with several hundred people, many A-list actors in Hollywood, as Jim Carrey, Jeremy Renner, Sharon Stone, Naomi Watts, Lupita Nyong'o, Kathy Bates, Eva Longoria, Christina Hendricks, Rosario Dawson and Amber Heard. For the occasion, in addition to the traditional habit, He wore a cap with a visor that matched his maroon tunic.. El tema de la disertación del Premio Nobel de la Paz era "El liderazgo en el siglo VVI".

The Dalai Lama, what counts 78 years, knew how to show his sense of humor in the event moderated by Ann Curry, and even answered the public's curiosities, like curiosity about what was in a handbag –2 toblerones, a thermometer, a toothbrush, two pairs of glasses and a Buddha sculpture, wakefulness–.

Jim Carrey, how could it not be otherwise, he was funny. But the Lama knew how to get serious when talking about topics such as faith and materialism. He also remembered his friend the archbishopDesmond Tutu, when he saw Lupita Nyong'o. And he did not avoid delicate questions, like his view of homosexuality. The Dalai Lama explained that Buddhism considers it “an incorrect sexual behavior”, although non-believers should follow “their own teachings”.

Naomi Watts was so fascinated, that at the end of the event he came over to chat for a while with the illustrious guest.
