And then how should we live in the world?

Question

There is an element of the marvelous in what you teach, in the literary sense, and I wonder how to understand it when you say, for example, that we can interact with matter however we want and that our possibilities are unlimited. And then how should we live in the world, how can we remain humble and responsible if everything you say is as I imagine it? The other day I saw that the Dalai Lama had surgery to remove bladder stones. Did he really need that operation?


Greetings.

He most certainly needed to give something material form in his flesh so he would suffer less from it emotionally. He is a very good man.
