Dalai Lama

Last Saturday ,the Holiness Dalai Lama came to UC Berkeley to give a lecture entitled Peace through Compassion.  That day was very hot and the talk was supposed to start at 2pm.  We reached there around 1245pm and got ourselves a spot on the lawn in Greek Theatre.  Well, as usual, it started late and there were so many introductions before DL came in. But nevertheless, all the people were waiting patiently for his lecture under the hot burning sun...Well..I rather have the sun than the rain on that day :-)  So I am not complaining :-)...

He gave about an hour lecture and he does have a good sense of humor.  Basically the message he is trying to get through us is in order to have peace in the world, each one of us should have our inner peace. And he was also telling the audiences how mother's love is so pure.  Besides that he also mentioned that life is not easy and we should also prepare for the worst.  His talk is a reminder for all of us with regards to how we should live our lives.   

After the talk, all of us went home with some points to ponder and evaluating the life we are living.  World peace is important and every individual plays important role caused we make a difference.....
