As the New Year gets under way, I wanted to apologize for my absence from these pages over the past several months. In late August, I began working on a grant for the TEXT Project (Tibetans in Exile Today), and that required several months of back-breaking and unexpected labor. I finished the grant by mid-November, at which point I had a month to submit another manuscript, and having gotten that finished, I fairly collapsed over the Christmas break and am just now getting my legs back under me. So I hope to see more of everyone who attends Geshe's meditation class in 2009.
BTW--The Dalai Lama has a MySpace page now! The video below appears on it, and I thought you might be interested in viewing it (it's 40 seconds). Have a look at the monk in the foreground after the camera pans away from His Holiness. You might recognize the back and side of his head. The video was shot seven years ago in northern India (not in Dharamsala, however), and preceded the monk's trip to Bodhgaya for the Kalachakra inititation, which would be memorialized in the film The Wheel of Time, where this monk also appears.
