Inspired Me – Dalai Lama at University of Miami October 26th

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I was lucky enough (thanks, brother!) to be one of those in attendance as His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, spoke to an overflow crowd of students, UM staff and a few of us “invited friends of the University” at the BankUnited Center on campus October 26th.
