"I bow down to the youthful Arya Manjushri.

You lions among humans,
Gone to freedom in the present, past and future
In the worlds of ten directions,
To all of you, with body speech, and sincere mind, I bow down. "

THE BOOK OF JOY
by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu

Archbishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama look back on their lives to answer a burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded stories, teased each other, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy.

Side Note
Your CM had 5 days of FSS (Foundation Service Seminar) Training. Wow! Amazing people from Centers all around the world attended including: France, Spain, Mexico, England, Austria and even our own Sarah Brooks from New Zealand. We learned, we laughed, we cried, we drank bucket loads of tea while the California deluge nestled us in the dining room during breaks. It was surprising to say the least...
