Dalai Lama Visit

So I went to see the Dalai Lama at Rutgers University. He really is a very nice, smart dude that is down to earth even though he has all this Holiness and stuff. Put it to you this way, it would be nice to just sit with him one dat and have tea and discuss life and all that good stuff.

Dr. Lama made some pretty good points about war and how it's an outdated concept. He also talked about compassion and how we are all on commuity and depend on each other to exist. I have already thought about these things and always wonder why some people don't get it. We are all the same and no matter where you live people are people. We all depend on each other and need each other to exist. Some people think violence is the answer, but it hasn't given us much in recent days, what makes us continue to think that it will make things better?

All in all it was good to listen to him speak. Although I expected to be much more enlightened than I was. I guess I was really tired and also it's a bit hard to understand him sometimes. The volume at the stadium sounded awful low and his accent made it hard to decipher some things he said at time. In any event, I think he is a good spiritual leader and all people can learn from him.
