The Dalai Lama was coming to speak here at AU, and I jumped on the opportunity to obtain a press pass so I could go even though the event was sold out. While he can be a little hard to understand, His Holiness never ceases to have a smile on his face (and he cracks a lot of jokes). He has the ability to relax hundreds of people—all hanging onto his every word. I recommend hearing him speak if you can.
