Really the point of these principles isn't to compare who's more truthful, loving, and powerful. The point is to use them as a growth compass for our own development.
I agree that gates is probably more in tune with his desires and vision, Its a shame its not as noble as the dalai lamas. While gates source of power is money, the Dali Lamas is the divine. This may be why The Dalai Lama has a nobel peace prize while Gates is trying to buy his.

I also agree that people should be used as a growth compass. As you have said Gates and Microsoft has had a greater impact on you development, and i am pleased for you.

While reading Dalai Lamas books has has a profound impact on my personal development.

Bottom line is you became rich from Gates' teachings... while i'd like to think i became enriched from his holiness's teachings.

Peace out
