Celebrities lives in the semi god or gods realms in samsara. They have everything like fame and wealth but lack spirituality. When tbeir lives became shambles, the smarter ones will look towards spirituality like Buddhism due to its logical teachings that benefits  others without agenda, to find  solutions and way out of their troubled lost lives.

Many celebrities are looking towards Buddhism and its philosophy because it has benefited others to change the course of their lives around using methods like meditation, learning love and compassion, giving, being selfless to eventually finding their own true self and peace of mind.

Potential Buddhists are attracted to the Dharma (Buddhist teachings) not only to take refuge from a world of chaos and confusion, but also to re-invent their own personal sense of a meaningful spirituality in a society of high-tech consumerism, commercialism, violence and apathy.
 Buddhism is a way of life. Instead of blaming karma or situations or other people, it  taught  to take the responsibility of one's own actions and create positivity in one's own life. It's all about seeking happiness within. It is practical rather than being preachy,seems to be the reasons celebrities are turning to Buddhism.
May Selena Gomez find the wisdom and peace she seeks.

To be successful in Hollywood is not an easy task. It is very challenging and tough. Therefore, they must find ways to bring them the peace and happiness in life. In this case, Buddhism is the key to the answer. Buddhism can help to explain why certain things is happening this way, why is it happening to us and not others, how to deal with difficult situations and problem arise and mind transformation to be able to see things from a different angle. When one understand about karma, one will be more mindful of their actions, speech and mind.

May Selena Gomez have faith in dharma and all her obstacles to be clear.

Everyone of us will have different experiences in life and some will have the affinity to see and be able to understand and have attraction towards the Buddhist path. Many people are following this path due to a lot of tireless teachers and High Lamas continuously spinning the wheel of the Dharma. And celebrities is no different from a norm, we all seek almost the same thing in life which is being happy. It is fortunate for Selena Gomez to meet the Dalai Lama and i hope this meeting will play and have an impact in her life.

Celebrities are attracted to Buddhism and find it appealing as it offers a spiritual journey that focus on personal spiritual development. As Buddhism spreads, more and more people are aware of Buddhism and find the teachings suitable for their lives. I am glad that Selena Gomez met the Dalai Lama and may she find inner peace.

Why is Tibetan Buddhism so popular or famous in the West amongst the celebrities? There are so many other sect of Buddhism, but it seems that Tibetan Buddhism is at the forefront. When the average Westerners were to quote any of the  renown Buddhist master, the very first person who comes to their mind would most likely be the Dalai Lama . Majority of the Westeners find Tibetan Buddhism more attractive than other religions because of its esoteric  nature and to most celebrities, they claimed that upon embracing Buddhism, they be able to find peace, calmness and happiness due to it’s doctrine that based on logic and compassion. From the meeting of Selena Gomez with the Dalai Lama will certainly create the cause for more celebrities to come forward for Buddhism.
