Jigme Ugen - Dalai Lama - The Opinion And The Other Opinion

I came across my guest, Jigme Ugen after he uploaded a video in response to a viral clip of a young Indian boy with the Dalai Lama. The video Jigme uploaded explained Tibetan cultural traditions and tried to give another opinion on what was going around on the mainstream media. My intention here is not at all to convince you that the Dalai Lama is one thing or another but when I decided to share this video on Instagram some of the responses I got enraged me. Some people rejected it without even watching it.  This led me to decide to have this conversation to tell my listeners that the top skill we need in today&aposs fake world of social media, is to always listen to the opposite point of view before we make up our mind.

Jigme Ugen is the President of the Tibetan National Congress who has lived in exile in Minnesota, USA since 2001.
