I don't think the smile has left my white face once for these past two days. It's been so much fun for me to be a part of everything. Tim Edmund of Eden Prairie attended two of the Dalai Lama's public events. He says the Midwest has plenty of room for what he's heard. Very common sense, very powerful things that people in this world need to hear about.
People probably know about it, people probably hear about it.
But he brought up the point that a lot of people don't practice these things, whatever religion they espouse. If you practice what you are taught, the world is a better place. The Dalai Lama's touch is considered a blessing, and His Holiness' blessings are generous. Throughout his visit here people lined his path, hoping to shake hands or just see him, and he often goes out of his way to greet people. As he passes, people inexplicably smile and wipe away tears - a moving reminder of how far this simple monk's reach goes.
