I have to tell you I didn’t hear all that much, but Micki did. So in the end I got good ideas, which were very insightful.
What, to me, was the most interesting thing about the Dalai Lama was how he handled himself. He was so relaxed. When he walked on stage he did his traditional bow with his hand in a prayer position. In no way was he in hurry. Rather he just sauntered to where he was to sit, which was a very, very large chair. The reason why it was so large is because he just didn’t sit down, but took his shoes off and pulled his feet up on the chair and sat cross legged.
He had on a red robe with yellow trim. Once he got comfortable he pulled the robe down to his waste, oh he had what look like a red t-shirt on under the robe, and let out with a large smile. Just like he was telling us he is ready.
On the stage with the Dalai Lama were six College presidents and his interpreter. The topic was, as I understood it, about the world and how education fits in the grand scheme of things. But here is the official name of the event “The responsibility of higher education in today’s Global Society”
You might know that China does not want the USA to have anything to do with the Dalai Lama, but what the heck we do anyways.
What endeared me most about the Dalai Lama was his laugh and smile. His laugh was so genuine and seems to have relaxing impact on the audience.
When it was time for him to leave he put on his shoes and walked to front of the stage and looked into my eyes, yes I said my eye and gave me a bow with his hands in a prayer position. I’ll never forget the serene smile.
I forgot to tell you that by the luck of god we had front row seat. Maybe being two and half hours early helped.
See and hearing the Dalai Lama was great experience and one I will never forget.
It is my hopes if you ever get a chance to see him, do it.
Happiness with wealth to you
