Words of Wisdom from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
I had another one of the experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life, something I never thought I’d be writing about. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a presentation by the Dalai Lama. Over the course of a few days, he presented his teachings on interdependence […]

Well… that didn’t happen. I finally checked the […]
