Dalia Lama in DC
yesterday I saw a few Buddhist Monks across the street as I got back from lunch
I dashed across the street and greeted them with a quick Namaste
then asked if they minded if I took their picture
they did not mind the photo
then I asked where they were going and needed any directions
sure enough they did need directions
they were looking for two embassies
rather than pointing this way and that way I asked them to wait as I went to my office to get them accurate addresses and directions
in a matter of minutes they had directions and maps
it was a warm exchange
they blessed me as they left
in our goodbye I gave them a the lesser known Tibetian version of Namaste, Tah shi de leh
they lit up
wish I could have spent more time with them as I am always on a spiritual quest
but I had to get back to work
