Going to see the Dalai Lama tomorrow!

Awesome! Rep for you.
Take pictures for us Clutchfans.

 

Gunga Galunga. no wait, Gunga Lagunga.

 

Just don't do the Dalai Lama orders a pizza joke.

 

show him more respect than Obama

 

I got to see the Dalai Lama speak a few years ago. It was a bit of a disappointment since it was quite difficult to understand what he was saying since his English isn't that clear. On t.v one can easily understand him, since they usually have subtitles, but on the whole the experience wasn't all that I had hoped it would be. I guess maybe sitting closer to the stage would have helped.

 

That's awesome! This man is hands down one of the most fascinating people in the world... PLEASE post a review when you get back!

You should watch this interview to get ready, it's good stuff.

Sweet! I got to see/hear him when he was at Rice in 06/07 and I have a little program that was 'blessed' by him.
Mr. Brightside is kind of right though - you have to listen really intently to understand what he's saying. nevertheless it will give you stuff to think about. He's got a good sense of humor too!

 

I met him once when I caddied for him:

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 crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga...gunga- gunga lagunga." 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.

 

I've seen Dali's Lama once before ...

 

Yeah I saw him a few years ago in Austin and it was frustrating because a translator was speaking for him half the time. And when he did speak English it was unclear at times.

That said, the ticket was free (it was done through UT) so I wont complain.

 

Obama threw him out with the rest of the trash? Cool, I might vote this time. Obama '12.

 

I wish there would be a "Free us from free tibet protesters" protest group outside his lecture. Tibet is oppressed, we get it, now please shut up and stop banging that incessant drum.

 

same douchelords who tackled the girl in the wheelchair.



I don't think they understand the concept of 'winning hearts and minds'

 

Ya, I know huh? Trying to fight against oppression....sooooo annoying....

 

The next time I feel oppressed I plan to protest with an air horn at your work.

When I say "feel oppressed" I mean someone on the other side of the world and by "I" am referring to a few dozen homeless guys I hired with cigarettes and malt liquor.

 

Big hitter, the Lama.

 

I was there for that at Rice as well. I didn't have trouble hearing him but it was hard to see him because of the way the seating was set up. Unfortunately most of what he said is the type of stuff he always says and what he's written in his books so it was a little less amazing than I'd hoped it would be. Still a cool experience to see him in person.

 

Good, because you have reason to feel as oppressed as Tibetans are.
