very cool...nice close up as well...so you get to meet him?
No Brian I didn't meet Him {except in an existential zen-like sense! Ha!!!!}:)
I want to meet that Buddha Boy, only he lives in India. And he's hard to find.
Most jaunts people take, I am like..whatever..but this is different.
<jealous
oh, that is so unBuddhist, but...
nice pics. Recently I took a trip to Dharamshala in India, the main office of the Dalai Lama and i got a chance to check out his crib (I sneaked In)
He Was very Funny......eg.(talking about reincarnation) "Here Am I .77 years old.The Dalai Lama!I Can Remember All Those Previous Lives......Yet,sometimes, I Cant Remember What I Did Yesterday.........."
You're going to need this photo again in two weeks (elephants).
I would have so loved to have seen the Dalai Lama. :)
I still don't know the difference between a llama and an alpaca!
I would be interested in listening to him speak. Enjoyed the circus picture with you and your friend, Tony.

I would have loved the chance to hear him speak.
That sounds like a great event. He has quite a dry sense of humour I think.
I like the photo of you, your Japanese friend and the elephants. You both look so nonchalant and not too interested in their act.

It seems the elephants did their rounds, without you and your friend watching...a well if you wanted to watch elephants you went on a safari to India or Africa...so cool in the seventies!
Excitement - Dalai Llam, floods. I met (kind of) Aung San Suu kyi the other day - funny, elegant, beautiful. As you'd expect really. Except for the funny perhaps.
Aung San Suu kyi really does come across as a Lady of Principle .Good to know the reality matches.
Perhaps, individuals could take a signal. Will likely be back to acquire more. Appreciate it.
A very interesting mix! Floods, Elephants, and the Dalai Lama too. Rain can be both blessing and curse. Too much at the wrong time?
