Dalai Lama was in New York city last week. I was so happy to finally meet His Holiness. He gave us teachings on Nagarjuna's Commentary on Bodhicitta and A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, by Shantideva. His sense of humour and approach to the buddhist texts transformed this lecture in a very special moment. Richard Gere, founder of Healing the Divide, said, "It's extraordinary that we're able to share His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings with so many people here in New York. These teachings are practical advice on how we try to become better people and make the world a better place. By developing patience, compassion and wisdom we are more effectively -- more generously -- able to really help one another." Agreed, Rich. I could not say it in a better way.
