Matthieu Ricard in the year 2008:

Francois Revel:

  • His father said Francois Revel it would be a waist of money to become a monk.
  • As a journalist asked Francois Revel to write a book with Matthieu Ricard, he said, he cannot reject this.
  • But could Matthieu Ricard have rejected this?
  • At other places, Matthieu Ricard said, he was fullfilling the vision of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
  • Did he not have his own vision of his life?
  • Matthieu Ricard said, that there was nothing between him and his father than the clouds from the Himalaya.
  • But what exaclty means this?
  • That it was a relationship which was unclear?
