Chennai:
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who met Dalai Lama on November 10, said that the Tibetan spiritual leader suggested that he use cinema as a medium to spread ahimsa (Non-Violence).
Dalai Lama was in Chennai in connection with a private function.
"My lack of interest in matters of things spiritual in nature was matched by his disinterest in cinema. He has not watched a single movie, not even television. Yet he opined that I could use my craft and medium to propagate the great philosophy offered to the world by India:Ahimsa," Mr Haasan said in a statement.
"I confirmed my faith in Ahimsa and said that I will venture soon in that direction," Kamal Haasan said.
The Thoongavanam star wrote on Facebook: "Inspite of the fact that I am rationalist and hence not spiritually bent, my meeting was invigorating and felt purposeful."
"For a man of his position, he indulged in small talk with the sign of a man who had no worldly worries," Kamal Haasan added.
