Do You Get the Dalai Lama?

In New Zealand this week, I happened to hear Andrew Fagan

 & Karyn Hay discussing the Dalai Lama on their radio slot,

 as on Wednesday June 12 the Dalai Lama had given

 a full house talk at Auckland's Civic Theatre.

 Andrew & Karyn [long-term partners I believe]

 had polar opposite views on the Dalai Lama.

 Andrew sees a fake, a rock-star sham who ought to sleep

 in bus shelters if he wants to be taken seriously.

 Karyn calmly presented another view: a man spreading a positive message

Outside the Civic, there were protestors apparently Chinese nationals, with placards and leaflets. Their document could be taken as a collection of mis-information though described as "Facts and Figures".
These three examples describe the state of our world: the imbalance of distrust and cold-heartedness outweighs the shining light of goodness to such an extent, that even pure compassion can be misinterpreted.
Happiness is in the mind said the Dalai Lama and where money can ease your physical discomfort, it will never alleviate suffering in the mind.

The Power of the Dalai Lama

The immense healing power of the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso is apparent to anyone who has been in his presence. Whether that means in speaking distance or within a huge convention centre, the compassionate force emanated by this exceptional being is life changing.
The Chinese government has expressed outrage at a meeting provided by President Obama in Washington, but the continued good works by the Dalai Lama around the world are a testimony to his true heart.

A recent Herald article from July 2011, covers some interesting aspects of his succession, considering that this too is an aspect China intends to control.
