St. Patrick's Day found me at the Rancho Cultural Centre, with Alexis, for a documentary on the Dalai Lama. I'm slightly emberassed to admit that I didn't know much about him before this film. I knew the basics, and that was really all.
The interesting thing about the Dalai Lama is that he lives a life of tact rather than practising being tactful in certain situations. He preaches religious and social tolerance, love and peace, pacifism and ecological consciousness.
Can you just imagine if the world started practising Buddhism and incorporated the teachings in their everyday life?
I'm actually very fascintaed by this idea.
