Dalai Lama

His Holiness the Dalai Lama appeared at a sold-out event today at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania to lecture on “Generating a Good Heart.”

The Dalai Lama shared his three main commitments with the crowd saying:

“Number one commitment is emotional human value, the thing that supports our survival and happiness. These things I consider value. Number two, as a believer, as a Buddhist, trying to promote harmony among different religious traditions. His last commitment is to Tibet. He has wanted Tibet to enjoy self-rule or autonomy.

Afterward the Dalai Lama took questions from Lehigh President Alice P. Gast that had been submitted in advance by the public.

Asked why so many Americans are depressed and anxious: “I’m the wrong person to ask. You should ask Americans.” Then he answered that U.S. society is too competitive and that people always want “something more, something more, something more.”

He’s on to us selfish and self-seeking sons of a bee-yaches.

All you Philly people can catch the Dalai Lama in person as he heads out to speak at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Oh, almost forgot: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLY ONE!!!

The Dalai Lama turned 73 today!!
