Dalai Lama to The Netherlands

I was elated to hear that the Dalai Lama will visit The Netherlands May 10-12 2014.
He will give a public lesson and reading at may 11 in Rotterdam.

Tickets are available but be aware that it's best to use the advice given on the main site of the visit, as there are commercial ticketsellers who provide a kind of second hand tickets for more money.

You can get more information at this site.

Wedding of the King of Bhutan

The King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, married today with Jetsun Pema.
She the daughter of a pilot and when the King saw her when she was 7 he already knew she would be the woman of his dreams.
There's an age difference of 10 years, but they know each other already 14 years.

We wish them both a happy life.

Was this her karma?

A woman in the Philippines seemed to be in a hurry.
People were standing in line to buy lotto tickets, but she pushed herself in front of a man and bought a ticket.

After that, the man bought a ticket too.
He was spending his holiday in his homecountry.

Never ever did he expect to win, so when people told him to check the number he said he'd do that the next day.

He won 12 million euro!!

Right now he lives in the USA, but he wants to use the money to spend his retirement in his homecountry.

The story doesn't tell anything about the woman.

Her behaviour had far reaching consequences.

Mother Theresa

Today at many places in the world the 100rds birthday of Mother Theresa has been celebrated.

Most people know this remarkable woman did a lot of good for those in need. She worked with the poorest of the poorest and never denied someone support.

She saw in every person an image of God and treated that person accordingly.

Samdhong Rinpoche ( on July 29, 2001 elected prime minister of the Tibetan government in exile) said about  the importance of her for Tibetan Buddhism:
"For us, the Mother is the incarnation of Maha Karuna (immeasurable compassion).
For her, no one was unreachable.
The Dalai Lama had the deepest admiration and respect for her."

She's a great example to everyone of us, regardless of religion or philosophy.
