Yesterday, the Dalai Lama spoke at a college near my home.

Last night, he was seen having dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.

I'm not sure what to think anymore...

And he says, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin for me. Which is nice.

I think I'm filing that under the category of my observations that a lot of the folks who seem to have the big picture well in hand (or better than I do) seem to be pretty laid back about details.

What did the Buddhist say when he went to the pizza parlor?

"Make me one with everything."

A man (even a highly enlightened one) needs to eat.

I met one of his close advisors once at a freebie concert I worked at for Amnesty International. It was kind of a rain out.. so nobody really showed.. but he and I talked for about two hours..

And if you're going to eat, let it be tasty!

If he paid in cash, I hope his waiter used the "Change comes only from within" line.

Just noting here that I accidentally reported the original post. No, GRM folks, I did not find it offensive. My mouse button just slipped

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand-foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."
