On paper, you may think that Star Trek and the Dalai Lama are just a little at all. After all, the first was the long runne of the science science made by Gene Roddenberry and the last was the spiritual leader of Tibet. However, all it took was a period of In the next generation To bring the best in both worlds (to say) together.
