An Angel Debates the Devil

Sometimes we hear a voice in our head telling us to do something that might not be so good to do.  We tell it to go away, and then it surprises us by talking back.  What’s worse, the voice is sometimes quite convincing.

400 years ago in Tibet there lived the First Panchen Lama, very much like the Dalai Lama.  He wrote poetry, he knew dance, he was the greatest thinker of his time and also managed to stop a war once, single-handedly, by walking out between the two armies. And surely he had days that he spent arguing with the devil inside his own head.  The Panchen Lama decided to record the conversation in a book, which he called The Devil Debates an Angel.
