A gift to myself: A spiritual day with the Dalai Lama. When we arrived there was a huge line of thousands of people around the corner and down the road behind the Wang Theatre. Apparently, due to security checks and protesters who had their own mantra…”False Dalai Lama - Stop Lying”. Leaflets were handed out to us in-line stating,” Dalai Lama, the worst dictator in this modern day.” See video below. This private event with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama for his “Eight Verses of Mind Training,” along with a special transmission on Enlightenment Mind in Boston was a 6 hour event with over 3500 attendees. The energy shift was truly amazing when his holiness entered the stage. I experienced this amazing feeling of love and compassion in his presence. His Holiness explained the ‘Eight Verses for Training the Mind’. dalailama/teachings/training-the-mind. We were led by His Holiness in a ceremony to generate the awakening mind. When he mentioned the importance of putting it into practice in your day-to-day life over the coming weeks, months, years, decades and eons, in life after life, we starting applauding and laughing with him and his big belly laugh. He’s a funny guy. Meanwhile out in the street, crowds of Tibetans cheered His Holiness’s presence and prayed for his long life. The Boston Police did a great job of keeping things in check. When I came out of the theatre one of the cops said to me. “Are you enlightened?” Another funny guy! Apparently the protestors had been in full form for the whole day. 6 hours…chanting their mantra and banging their drums. I’m not a religious person…I’m a spiritualist who accepts all religious faiths and I am truly grateful for this amazing experience to be in the presence of His Holiness. When I left the Wang Theater, I thought to myself, it doesn’t seem to matter the religion, there are always disagreements, radicals, protestors and non-believers. If we can’t coexist within our own religious beliefs, will we ever have peace on earth?
