Interpreting His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Interpreters

During a lunchbreak between the morning and afternoon sessions with His Holiness The Dalai Lama (Pacifico Yokohama, 2010/06/26), Jaime and Jessica talk about what it meant to them to hear His Holiness The Dalai Lama .... get interpreted.

The Dalai Lama is an excellent speaker. The only problem is the translators during his discussion on Buddhism and Happiness (not Happyness)... well, they sucked the sweat off a dead yak's balls.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I love you!

HH Dalai Lama & Yokohama Chinatown

Something just occurred to me...

We (outside China) know how the Chinese government is (mis) leading her citizens into believing how "bad" the Dalai Lama is...

We also know how the Chinese government controls the news about what is REALLY going on in the outside world, or in places like Tibet ("ethnic cleansing" by the Han Chinese Race)...

We also know how the government tends to set up rallies and protests wherever the Dalai Lama goes...

Now take all of the above, and combine it with the knowledge that Yokohama, where HH the Dalai Lama will be speaking tomorrow, June 26th has the largest China Town in Japan right in the vicinity where the venue will be...

And you have a recipe for something very interesting tomorrow outside the venue!

We are not allowed to take photos or video of HH, but I plan to make a before and after video to capture our thoughts for the world regarding this event, and what we "feel". I also wonder if I will be capturing anything else on film tomorrow...

Better charge my video camera batter! This could be an exciting, unexpected addendum to tomorrow's adventure.

I love you!
