Chickens! Cultural Moment: The Dalai Lama
A whirlwind trip to Calgary for a delightful afternoon with LP and His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama (here's his office's official website). He was in town for the UofC's NOW festival to speak on peace through compassion. CBC news report on Dalai Lama's visit to Calgary here, Calgary Herald here, The Star here, CTV here, etc. What an inspirational speaker! It especially resonated with me when he spoke of secular ethics and how it is important for humanity to embrace morals and ethics separate from religion to be functional. I will do a bio post on His Holiness later (I promised LP) when I have more time.
There were several openers, the childrens sang and did a shadow-based interpretive dance. I especially like the singers who did the national anthem in English, French, and Cree. Also, an amazing cellist, Trevor Fitzpatrick, played for us. Here is the song he did:
