(FILES) This file photo taken on October 16, 2014 shows French Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard posing in Paris. The 14th Dalai Lama, 81, is no longer concerned with politics but is always thirsty to comment on the "promotion of human values", "harmony with religions " and "dialogue with the sciences", according to the Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard. This French close to the Tibetan spiritual leader will be his translator during his visit to Paris and Strasbourg from September 12 to 18. / AFP PHOTO / BERTRAND GUAYBERTRAND GUAY/AFP/Getty Images
