Wow there's way too much to say about the Dalai Lama visiting the United States... and Atlanta... and Emory of all places. I managed to get my hands on a couple tickets and headed down to see him (and other theologians) today for a "Summit" on "peacebuilding".
Most notable was the sheer simplicity with which the Dalai Lama relayed his message (basically that mutual affection is at the center of peace). Also interesting were the other religious scholars who echoed this sentiment with thier own traditions' flare.
I will surely remember this forever. Hopefully I can work a little harder to live a little better every day. I may go out and buy one of his books.

Dalai Lama is regular people like you and me. History played a job on him and politicians made a lot of noise in favor of their own gains.
