Dalai Lama

[firecat]

I was flipping channels, and I saw him on the University of California channel (at the very endof my DiSH lineup). He was wearing his usual robes and a UCI sun visor, which he explained was because the light was too bright, not because he was advertising the University of California Irvine. He introduced his translator as his "English walking stick".

I've read a bunch of what he's written in collaboration with others, but I've never seen him on TV before. He has a wonderful smile.

I read it after I'd already been going to Quaker meeting for about a year. Quakers don't call what they do meditation, which is one of the many things I like about it.
But of course, I could recognize aspects of what he was talking about in my meeting experience.
