Pathetic. Dalai Lama, a pawn of Western $ponsorship.. A Buddhist with millions of dollars.. and the forever lord of an organized religion which has no place (power) for women… Like Get Lost, this white patronage of patriarchy...
How l remember seeing this as we watched your set on television. It was a very uplifting experience and seems like a million years ago! Your poem is beautiful. Much love from London 🙏
I, too, made a mistake - not having seen this earlier today. I first saw the subsequent post wherein you - Patti - corrected the date.
What an amazing video this is! Thank you so much for sharing it. I have watched it over and over and I’m grateful that you posted this late because it came like manna today, as did the beautiful poem you wrote for His Holiness.
I love the whole poem but especially this:
may your hands
be full of nothing
may your toys
scatter the sky
tiny yellow bundles
bursting like stars
like smiles
and the laughter
of a bell
Thank you so much, Patti. Thanks to everyone for all the kindness herein.
Please permit me to add my good wishes to your own for HHt14 Dalai Lama. I met him early on the morning of July 4, 2000 in Washington, DC, when he approached me on the National Mall to chat. What a delightful experience, with a joy filled man! I will carry that memory with me always. 💖
Having met the Dalai Llama, he's got the wickedest most naughty sense of humor (for a holy monk), alas to be outdone in this achievement, only by Keith Richards. Happy belated Birthday.

What a beautiful poem dear poetess to our spiritual messenger
My poem to both of our spiritual leaders how desperately we need your inspiration now to lift our broken wings --》
"and the road leads to the horizon it appears to be lit on fire watching the dropping walls between humanity
it holds us our open door the ribbons of diversity billow as doves gather underneath our world and lift up broken wings "
Happy Birthday by Glastonbury Festival attendees was fantastic.
Thank you very much, Patti.
I remember this so well. Hard to believe all that time has passed already.
The Tibetan Buddhism is a deep and profound faith,
It is symbolised by prostration
Both knees, hands and forehead on the ground,
As on the Lhasa pilgrimage.
May the Dalai Lama continue to live in peace.
That is so beautiful, HH Dalai Lama would love to hear this sweet heartfelt poem no matter when his birthday is, as you know by now it was recently 💖

His is a joyful humble presence - your poem captured that element for me. More humility, less hubris
would surely go a long way in improving relations with our fellow humans. A beautiful tribute, thank you.
That’s perfect for his holiness. Thank you for writing it.
This poem is so beautiful, dear Patti.🪷🤲 💫 Thanks for sharing your joyful wishes. Happy thoughts to the Dalai Lama. 🙏🕊️

Maybe the only time the Dalai Lama and Keith Richards have been mentioned in the same sentence. Take good care, Wing.

Joining in laughter!
one of the few poems in the world that i don't have to be anxious about 'getting'. thank you Patti.
I’ve been thinking about His Holiness a lot lately.
His pure joyful sunrise smile always brings a smile
to my being.
Joyous Birthday, Dalia Lama. ☀️ 🌻
I was there and it was amazing. Such energy, such joy.
How wonderful that you were there!
