ANYONE hoping the Dalai Lama would divulge the meaning of life at his public talk in Sydney yesterday would have been disappointed.
"The precise answer is, I don't know," the smiling Buddhist monk said when the question was put to him by a reporter.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on the last day of his Australian tour, nonetheless captivated about 30,000 people who stood listening to him talk for more than an hour on "The Power of Compassion" in the rain-sodden grounds of The Domain.
Buddhist monks, Christians, atheists, supporters of Tibet and curious young people were among those who ignored storm warnings and braved strong winds and intermittent drizzle to see the charismatic spiritual leader.
The Dalai Lama was introduced by Sydney Swans co-captain and practising Buddhist Brett Kirk, who handed over a gift of a signed Swans T-shirt
Mr Kirk presented the Dalai Lama with a signed Swans jumper which he then draped over his robes! It was a message of compassion, love and service, which clearly resonated with the large crowd no matter what their faith tradition
Meaning of life is...... sharing a colourful umbrella with good friends
Dad with loving kindness and compassion, by the way, happy belated father's day - 17 June 07
