Matthieu Ricard calls himself a clown, a clown traveling the world. In reality he is a sincerely devoted French monk. From a monastery in Kathmandu, for over 30 years, he has been working on impressively. He donates a million dollars a year to schools, hospitals, monasteries and philosophical organisations in Tibet, India and Nepal. He earns this money with royalties from his books and from sponsors world wide.
Matthieu Ricard is already convinced that at the end of his life he will have no regrets. His spiritual teachers have showed him how to live life to the maximum.
