Om Mani Padme Hum, the Tibetan mantra on my mind

Back in 1995, for the second time in Dharamsala, I went to a public audience by His Holiness the Dalai Lama : he gave a individual blessing to all the people one by one : I was standing there, facing him, he looked into my eyes and just like that read my soul; and then, he hold my hand and smiled, and I uderstood that eveything in my life was going to be Ok. I was with my best friend, and as we walked away, slowly, we looked at each other and broke into tears, of emotion!

This moment and the birth of my kids were the most important moments of my life.....
