...world," says Chogyam, a short, plumpish man who giggles frequently and peers over his glasses with benign amusement. Meditation attracts troubled Americans, he feels, because it damps their ego and ambition. "People are very relieved when they learn that they are nothing, that they don't exist," he says.

He dreamed of a building that would be "both a museum and a center for creation, where the plastic arts would exist alongside music, cinema, books, audio-visual research.
