Saw the Dalai Lama yesterday.

What an incredible Human Being. He only spoke for about 5 minutes, but he used that time to remind us of what being a Human should be about.

He has only Love for his fellow man.

Video of him speaking, needs a bit of buffering...

He's currently going around Europe and I saw him in Berlin by the Brandenburger Gate. But really, he had only good things to say in terms of relations with China. He told us all we should pray for the Chinese, the Burmese, the people of India and Darfur. What I didn't catch on tape was the part where he told us that if we supported Tibet, then it was clear we supported non-violent behaviour. We should practice non-violent behaviour in our everyday lives and only through communication and not violence can we achieve a more peaceful, respectful world.

He said that China are Tibets brothers. That they respect China as a sort of 'technologicaly advanced brother' and that they need China. China should see them as a spiritually and culturaly rich smaller brother.

It was truly an honour. He seems completely healthy and sounded very warm and friendly.

That's one of those life experiences that will stay with you forever. Do something positive with it and you will definitely be rewarded.
