Fifty years and counting. I wonder how
many times this scene was repeated
around the world yesterday.
I've felt a connection (unexplained)

ReplyDeleteThe best I can describe his aura is that he has energy swirling around him that's almost palpable—and he's total calm at the center of it. What will happen when it's time to choose the next Dalai Lama? Perhaps the same thing that happened with the Panchen Lama: the one discovered by the Tibetans mysteriously disappeared and another chosen by the Chinese was put in his place. Equally disturbing, the current Dalai Lama may likely be the last.
