  • The Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India.<br /> "Ah, you again," the Dalai Lama exclaimed, taking my hand and holding it as we walked through his garden. He stopped to feed his pet parakeets, and I apologized for taking his time from what is now an incredibly busy schedule of meetings. "Please know that I have the best of intentions," I assured him. He turned towards me suddenly, his eyes boring into mine. "Yes, I know. And good intent is very important. Most important in all that you do. Never forget." Whatever your actions, it’s what in your heart that truly matters.” His simple words always made an impact on me.

  • The Dalai Lama blesses recent arrivals from Tibet, including a young girl with her mother Dharamsala, northern India.<br /> Hundreds of young children walk or are smuggled over the high mountain passes of Tibet every year in hope of receiving a Tibetan education in exile. His Holiness arranges an audience with every one of them. Since the 1959 exodus from Tibet led by the Dalai Lama, more than 130,000 Tibetans in exile have fought to preserve their unique culture and identity while rebuilding their lives in the 47 Tibetan refugee settlements throughout India and Nepal. In this sense, Tibetan refugees have managed more than mere survival; they have created a Tibet in exile that is in some ways more truly Tibetan than their occupied homeland.
