"spend afternoon with the Dalai Lama"??

Well yes, yesterday I had the privilege of seeing the Dalai Lama & hearing him express his thoughts on peace, compassion, kindness & the way of non-violence.

What an afternoon, just me and ummm 19,999 other people!

Such a warm man, with a ready smile and infectious laugh. What a joy to hear him speak.
His message? He asks us to make an intentional and sustained effort to BE peace, to choose the way of gentleness & kindness, to promote & foster joy.

As a Christian, I see the Way in the person of Jesus Christ. By grace He extends the fruits of the Spirit to us; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Gifts of grace.

Yes, the Dalai Lama ~ 'Ocean of Wisdom' indeed.

Peace be with you, gentle reader.
