Interview. Announcements by unidentified man : Swami Dharma Bodhi, Die Neue Zeitung (inaudible)
An interview by Christoph Graf Keyserlingk (Sw Dharma Bodhi, Die Neue Zeitung, Germany).

Question 1
Somehow I feel that this rather intellectual magazine which I represent needs some fun. You are the only and first master with a chance to work on a planetary scale, using modern communication systems. Do you like scandals as a means of publicity?
Question 2
This is the first community with a lot of fun and enjoyment, albeit even fascist fun. Is fun a better device for transformation than seriousness?
Question 3
What to give children nowadays, so that they can be as playful as you have been?
Question 4
But isn't there in this place inside of everybody, and the fun -- isn't there this heap of unconscious fear? I feel when you were a boy, you were so awake, or so aware, that it's difficult for the children now who, I feel even in this commune, are still full of fear, of violence, of difficulties. How can we get rid of this fear and have fun, and enjoy ourselves more?
Question 5
But if you have love for your master, don't you then do what he wants you to do, especially in his presence?
Question 6
Is not the freedom you give us sometimes rather painful for us?
Question 7
I see in myself and even in this commune so much unconscious fear of change. Is your approach not utopian? Will there ever will be anybody willing to form one world government with all its implications?
