| | Dalai Lama in Sydney | | 2008-06-12 15:21:00 | | Wow. It's been a whole week since I lasted posted. This week I have been so busy at the Dalai Lama workshop and sorting out all my other work for it that I haven't been at my computer very much.I love the Dalai Lama. I see him practically every time that he comes to Sydney for at least one talk so I rushed in to buy my tickets when I heard that that Dalai Lama was giving a 5 day workshop.We are on day 3 today of the workshop and the topic is Kamalashila's Middle Stages of Meditation. It's been fantastic, but very tiring as you can imagine. I'm accustomed to long periods of having to concentrate from uni, esp in post grad where I would be at uni from 9-5, doing back to back lectures (well, I attempted concentration). However when the lessons are in Tibetan, translated back to English and relating to Buddhist philosophy, it ups the concentration demand significantly. I have to say that the Dalai Lama's translator is probably the hardest working guy I have ever seen. He sits at the | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Dalai Lama 'to resign' if violence worsens | | 2008-03-18 06:38:57 | | BEIJING, China (CNN) -- The Dalai Lama will step down as leader of Tibet's government-in-exile if violence by protesters in the region worsens, the exiled spiritual leader said on Tuesday as China's premier blamed his supporters for the growing unrest."If things become out of control then my only option is to completely resign," the Dalai Lama told a news conference in Dharamsala, northern India, The Associated Press reported.A spokesman for the Dalai Lama later clarified that he was refering to his political role as Tibetan leader-in-exile, rather than his spiritual role, AP said."If the Tibetans were to choose the path of violence he would have to resign because he is completely committed to nonviolence," Tenzin Takhla told reporters."He would resign as the political leader and head of state, but not as the Dalai Lama. He will always be the Dalai Lama."Earlier, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao had blamed supporters of the Dalai Lama for the wave of deadly violence which exploded in Tibet o | | By: Ayurveda in Thailand Blog | | |
| | Dalai Lama Wins Powerball Lottery | | 2007-12-26 21:33:00 | | CWT-Dharamsala, India. CWT's Asian Bureau reports reliable sources have confirmed His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama holds a winning United States Powerball Lottery ticket. A spokesman for The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (OHHDL), known in Tibetan as Kuger Yigtsang, informed CWT that the winning ticket for 338 million USD was purchased in October by an American admirer of the Dalai Lama and mailed to His Holiness in a Christmas card. " His Holiness makes every effort to read and respond to all correspondence, " said the official, " but over the holiday season we received so many cards and letters it became impossible to keep up - this one just slipped through the cracks until yesterday."CWT has learned the winning ticket was purchased and mailed by Virgil Lempert of Quinine, West Virginia. Friends of Mr. Lempert say he was " very impressed " with the Dalai Lama when he watched the broadcast of His Holiness receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in October.

| | 'Here we enjoy freedom,' says Dalai Lama | | 2007-11-02 14:31:00 | | On a lush couch before some 5,000 of his exiled countrymen, the Dalai Lama leaned on one elbow and gazed intently as two dozen wide-eyed children sang Tibetan songs, their young spirited voices rising into the rafters of a newly minted cultural centre.A smile touched the corners of his mouth, but the famous glint in his eye was nearly absent. It was at best a bittersweet moment, the Tibetan culture kept alive so far from home.

| | Ron Paul on Voting Against Congressional Gold Medal for the Dalai Lama | | 2007-10-17 07:00:00 | | Today, the Dalai Lama was awarded a congressional gold medal from the United States. But before the House of Representatives approved the $30,000 funding for the award on September 13th, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), known as Dr. No for his typical opposition to government spending programs that he does not see authorized by the Constitution, had this to say as the lone voice opposing the measure. Enjoy.Mr. PAUL: Mr. Speaker, with great sadness I must rise to oppose this measure granting a congressional gold medal to the 14th Dalai Lama. While I greatly admire and respect His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and fully recognize his tremendous status both as a Buddhist leader and international advocate for peace, I must object to the manner in which this body chooses to honor him. I wonder if my colleagues see the irony in honoring a devout Buddhist monk with a material gift of gold. The Buddhist tradition, of course, eschews worldly possessions in favor of purity of thought and action. Buddhism urges its practitioners to alleviate the suffering of others whenever possible. I'm sure His Holiness the Dalai Lama would rather see $30,000 spent to help those less fortunate, rather than for a feel-good congressional gesture. We cannot forget that Congress has no authority under the Constitution to spend taxpayer money on medals and awards, no matter how richly deserved. And I reiterate my offer of $100 from my own pocket to pay for this medal--if members wish to honor the Dalai Lama, all we need to do is pay for it ourselves. If all 435 of us contribute, the cost will be roughly $70 each. So while a gold medal sounds like a great idea, it becomes a bit strange when we see the actual cost involved.Note: The PAYGO rule was not violated. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

Participants paid 20 euros (27.50 dollars) to listen to a speech by the 72-year-old Buddhist on "The Art of Happiness" at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi, one of the main venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics."In the animal world there are fights but in general they live in peace. But man does not, we are dissatisfied, we want more and more, and that generates stress,".

| | 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama | | 2007-06-23 00:30:00 | | Granted an audience with Tibetan Buddhism’s spiritual leader, American travel-documentary director Rick Ray spends almost half of the resulting film getting to his first query. His overly reverent introduction to 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama is unnecessary for anyone with an elementary knowledge of Tibet, Buddhism, and Chinese aggression.

| | Dalai Lama on Compassion and message of Mahayana Buddhism | | 2007-06-01 05:23:00 | | "My message is the practice of compassion, love and kindness. These things are very useful in our daily life, and also for the whole of human society these practices can be very important."Basically, universal responsibility is the feeling for other people's suffering just as we feel our own. It is the realization that even our own enemy is motivated by the quest for happiness. We must recognize that all beings want the same thing we want. This is the way to achieve a true understanding, unfettered by artificial consideration."At the heart of Buddhist philosophy is the notion of compassion for others. It should be noted that the compassion encouraged by Mahayana Buddhism is not the usual love one has for friends or family. The love being advocated here is the kind one can have even for another who has done one harm. Developing a kind heart does not always involve any of the sentimental religiosity normally associated with it. It is not just for people who believe in religions; it is f | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
