Pico Iyer

Acclaimed travel writer and essay­ist Pico Iyer has enjoyed a three-​​decade-​​long friend­ship with the Dalai Lama and has come to know him in a way that few can claim. He speaks with Christal Smith about how the Tibetan leader is think­ing at this crit­i­cal his­tor­i­cal junc­ture. Pico Iyer is the author of The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Dalai Lama.

This is an encore broad­cast. The inter­view orig­i­nally aired in May 2008.
