My mother was one of seven girls whose parents went to bed hungry so their children wouldn't. My father lost his mother when he was nine. He left school and went to work for the next 70 years. They emigrated to America with little more than the hope of a better life.
The Dalai Lama's entire being is about peace and harmony forgiveness and self-discipline. Those are qualities to be admired. I am really looking forward to meeting His Holiness.
