It was a dream come true for Prateik Babbar, who has turned to Buddhist chanting post a stint in rehab for substance abuse. Currently touring Dharamsala, the 30-year-old actor yesterday secured a private audience with the Dalai Lama, who gifted him a miniature Buddha statue and an autographed book, Beyond Religion. Prateik, on his part, greeted him with a bouquet of carnations and freshly cooked organic food.

Incidentally, Prateik owns a restaurant, Morgan’s Place, in the picturesque city frequented by the spiritual leader’s family.
Over a 20-minute discourse on finding peace and positivity, the Dalai Lama continuously patted the actor’s face, says a source, adding, “He also advised him to follow Buddhism and go deeper into the spiritual facets of the religion, apart from urging him to read some of his novels,” adds the source.
When we reached out to Prateik, he said, “It was my childhood dream to meet the Dalai Lama. I have been religiously following some Buddhist chants and it has brought a sense of inner peace and direction in my life. An important lesson that he gave me today was, if I am putting my energies into something, I must question it. Having met him, I am in a state of complete bliss.”
