ohmmm

I went to hear the Dali Lama speak this morning. He was at Stanford University and the students signed up for a lottery to be able to buy tickets. A friend of mine, David, a student who works with Kyla at the lab in the summer asked if I wanted to go as he had won two tickets. Turns out they gave the students the best seats on the floor and we were so close the security guy was blocking us sometimes. It was fascinating. He mainly emphasized knowledge and compassion as a way to inner peace. I also learned they are constantly reevaluating their truths and concepts as experience shows them if something they had believed turns out to be false. The most surprising thing was how funny and jovial he was. Who knew the Dali Lama was such a card!
