His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, visited Portland’s Memorial Coliseum last month at the invitation of Maitripa College. So amazing … either he has the ability to single-handedly raise the spirits of 11,000 strangers, or we project that ability on to him so strongly that when he appears, our spirits rise effortlessly.
I failed to pick up a white scarf (red arrow, click on photo to enlarge). Still, white scarf or not, my wife and I felt the blessings of his generosity, compassion, and good humor just the same. (The full photo of the audience, courtesy of the Oregonian, can be seen here.)
Maitripa College has posted videos of all five appearances of HHDL online here.
