The Dali Lama - In Person - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**Ann** · 09-20-2006, 04:54 PM

This picture was taken when Teach's Aunt Sophia (in the glasses) and Uncle Bill (other guy) were privileged to meet the Dali Lama recently. What a thrill that would be. I'm jealous, Teach.

Wow!

Arura · 09-20-2006, 05:08 PM

That really is something Speacial...!

historyteach · 09-20-2006, 05:14 PM

Thanks Ann, for posting this for me!!!

Yea, Sophia does catering. The Dali Lama came to Newport -- to Salve Regina College specifically -- and Sophia catered the event. Bill normally doesn't have anything to do with her catering, but, for this one, he did! hehehe

I was PO'd that she didn't invite me to help out! But, she didn't even tell my mom, so, that's life.

The other woman is the president of Salve Regina College. Don't know her name.

Ann was good enough to post this for me, as I can't post pics for whatever reason.... But, with good friends like Ann, it all works out ok!

And I don't mind living vicariously through my aunt and uncle! LOL!
Ann, I'm sure my Bill would LOVE being refered to as the "other guy!" LOL!!! Tooo funny!!! :>)

Shalom!

**Ann** · 09-20-2006, 05:26 PM

Well, I couldn't call him the non-dali lama now could I?

What did she cook for him, Teach? I would have no idea what that man would eat.

I am inspired, than you.

Wow! I so want to see the Dalai Lama in person, and will one day.

historyteach · 09-20-2006, 06:35 PM

Ya know, Ann, I honestly don't know what she gave the man to eat...
But, I can find out.

Looks like some strawberries there on the table, hehehe!
She's Italian, so, she cooks up a storm, and cooks well, to boot!

Margo, I'd love to meet him too. And Ann, I'm just as jealous. Remember, THEY got to meet him, not me.

Shalom!

this is such a priviledge to meet the dalai lama!

He's a vegetarian. I'm in Bloomington, In. (his brother lives here and owns a Tibetan resturant so he is here a lot. We have a very large Buddhist monastary here.
What a beautiful soul. I love him.

Here's the actual dinner served. Sophia based it on the guidelines given by the US state department.
Spring, she said that the Dali Lama is not a veggitarian himself, but, that his brother, (also a monk) is.
So, here's the menu:

Lemon goat cheesecake?

The only person in the world I would trust to make that for me would have to be your Aunt Sophia, Teach.

historyteach · 09-26-2006, 09:55 PM

I agree, Ann!

And I'll let you have the first slice....
...I know how much you like cheesecake after all...

Only being polite, here, ya know...
