Is Kamal Converting Into Buddhism??

A couple of days back, legendary actor Kamal Haasan claimed that he isn't a god-following guy at the same time he's also not atheist. He claimed himself as a rationalist. But here comes a shocker.

Sharing a picture on his official Facebook wall, Kamal mentioned nothing, but it gave a different thought for many. He posed with Buddhist bigwig, His Holiness Dalai Lama today. Also seen in the picture is Kamal's live-in partner Gowthami. This is giving doubts if Kamal is converting into Buddhism.

On the flip side, Kamal's meeting with a religious leader couldn't be spun into a political move but somehow he's shaking Tamil political circuits with his action. Kamal anyway made it clear couple of days back that he's not going to start any political party neither join one.

Kamal Haasan has however given statement on his meet. Here it goes.

"Today morning I met The Dalai Lamaji .Have admired his resillience and purpose. Being a fan of Gandhiji it is not to too farfetched to become his admirer. Inspite of the fact that I am rationalist and hence not spiritually bent my meeting was invigorating and felt purposeful. My lack of interest in matters of things spiritual in nature was matched by his disinterest in cinema. 'I have not watched a single movie not even Television " he told me with a smile. Yet he opined that I could use my craft and medium to propagate the great philosophy offered to the world by India:  Ahinsa.

I confirmed my faith in Ahinsa and said I will venture soon in that direction.For a man of his position he indulged in small talk with abandon a sign of a man who had no worldly worries. Above all he loved the company of strangers. He reminded me of Jain Tamil poetry 2000year old..

Everywhere is my town All are my kin."
