Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.

[action's] a western thing. we think of the hero going into battle, rebelling against a government or an oppressor, but [in kundun] action is nonaction or what appears to be nonaction. that's a hard concept for western audiences. . . . we wanted to show a kind of moral action, a spiritual action, an emotional action. some people will pick up on it; some won't.
Spiritual Hero Emotional
