If you happen to speak with him without knowing who he is and where he comes from, you could easily mistake him for someone close to the Dalai Lama. You would think he is someone who has probably spent much of his life as a hermit in the Himalayas, where it did not matter how much money you have and you live on fruits and vegetables grown in your backyard. The kind of place where you are neither fearful of anything nor threatened by anyone.
