This last days the Dalai Lama has been giving some teachings to any interested person that is around McLeod Ganj (Dharamsala).
A lot of believers and curious are attending the teachings, from tibetean monks, hindus, tourists, etc.
Beeing an atheist, but also a curious about budhist philosophies it was interesting to be in the first day and listen to his teachings. Even though, listening to translations in a FM radio, with lots of delay and a bit repetitive, may be a bit too much for my impatient mind :)
Many of the teachings were about existence, consciousness, birth, life and death, and what budhism and some scriptures would have to say about it, relating also with some other main religions.
It was nice for the experience, but I guess a bit to heavy for most of the lay people that attended the lectures. So in the afternoon I decided to go experiment a bit of Yoga. Nice to keep the body also in place.
No photos of the Dalai Lama, of course, since the security was strong... maybe one of this days when we both go for a dinner together :) ... but there is a photo of a himalayan monkey :)
