Today is the Dalai Lama's 83rd birthday. I am not a Buddhist,
but I have, for a long time now, felt an unexplained "connection"
to The Buddha and Buddhist Heart Wisdom. I have
experienced many "mystical moments" with The Buddha energy
in sitting meditation. In a sense you could say I am a
"Buddha Mystic" :DDDDD

(one of my many self-imposed labels :)
I am also drawn, at times, to the Dalai Lama, to his heart of
compassion, his grandfatherly demeanor, and his innocent,
childlike happiness. His Presence (thru photos and the media) elicits
compassion and innocence in me, and my heart sighs.
There is an inexplicable resonance there, allowing me to feel
my own "Buddha Nature" - that Core Beingness within.

Here's a link about his exile from Tibet in 1959
before the invasion of Tibet by China.

Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama have much in common. Unfortunately they have never met. See why at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/12/pope-francis-denies-dalai-lama-audience-china-concerns
ReplyDeleteHow sad actually that politics takes precedence - although I'm not surprised. Good article... Thanks...
