What 'Known Figure' (I'm trying not to use the word celebrity!!) .... i.e. actress, actor, musician, writer, athlete, politicial, activist .... best personifies / embodies Buddhist values, to you. Preferably - a non Buddhist, so as to avoid the obvious choices :-)

    "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

    ― John Lennon

    I would have to go with John Lennon as well
  • HHDL springs immediately to mind. He's not perfect, but then nobody else is either. But he comes darn close.

    . Preferably - a non Buddhist
    Do you know the difference between a Buddhist and a non-Buddhist?

    The non-Buddhist thinks there's a difference. ;)

    I too will choose Mother Teresa.

    Mahatma Gandhi ... but then I rank this man even higher than the Buddha himself.
