Comment on Being Tattooed In Tibet by when in roam… » Sowing Seeds With The Dalai Lama

[...] It’s probably obvious from our posts about Tibet that Kim and I were both profoundly impacted by the landscape, people and culture we experienced on our journey through the Himalayas. What may not be as obvious is that we’ve long had a fascination with Tibet for years before we went, of course influencing our desire to go there in the first place. This interest stems not only from our general interest in traveling or the uniqueness of the “rooftop of the world”. More specifically we’ve been intrigued by Tibetan Buddhism, and this curiosity is very much due to the writings and speeches of the Dalai Lama. I don’t consider myself a religious person, and even had problems with some of the anti-materialism/detachment arguments presented in my earliest readings of Buddhist philosophy. But the Tibetan take presented by the Dalai Lama seems more practical and non-dogmatic, and so well humored as he delivers speeches on the most serious topics with a big grin on his face, and usually a great joke or two. The Dalai Lama (and all previous Dalai Lamas who he is considered to be a reincarnation of) are believed to be manifestations of the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion, and it is his mantra of compassion which I have tattooed around my arm. Part of the reason we were so enamored by Tibet was that this philosophy and attitude was completely typical of the average Tibetans that we met. This Tibetan focus on compassion shaped our experience there (not least of which included people’s amazing reaction to my tatoo). [...]
