His Holiness The Dalai Lama – in London

I have had the fortune to see His Holiness The Dalai Lama,

when he visited London yesterday.

He talked about compassion,

happiness,

love and affection

and ended with a question and answer session.

“Compassion is a marvel of human nature,

a precious inner resource

and the foundation of our well-being

and the harmony of our societies.”

The Dalai Lama

It was fascinating to listen to his wisdom directly in his spoken words.

2 monks made a peace Mandala with coloured sand all day outside.

I managed to see it at the end stage.

The Dalai Lama likes to laugh and has a wonderful smile.

“The first step toward living a happy life

is to treat every other human with kindness.

There are several steps after that,

but I can’t remember right now. “

It was an amazing experience!
