Event Description : Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness The Dalai Lama presents "The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s–Eye View of the World" Films on Spirituality and Other Dimensions 

Based on Michael Pollan’s best–selling book showing how human desires are an essential and intricate part of natural history. The film explores the natural history of four plants – the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato – and the corresponding human desires – sweetness, beauty, intoxication and controlling nature that link their destinies to our own. One of the great conceits of human civilization is to put ourselves outside nature. Taking these plants’ perspectives of the world restores human activity to its proper place in the matrix of nature.
