Your favorite Dalai lama photos?

I am so indecisive it drives me and most people insane, maybe meditation will hep with that.

anyhow, I am aware that if i type Dalai lama 14th in google and hit images I will get 1000's but as I said, I have been completely indecisive this past week or so.

Anyhow, as I am constructing an shrine slowly, one of the items I would like to place is a smallish photo of His Holiness Dalai lama 14, but due tot he amount I can't pick which one...

Just thought Id see if anyone here would share their favourite photos (if any) to see if any of them inspire me to use, (if said person wouldn't mind)

Right now, I really like, these two, for different reasons:

    Most Tibetan monks are open to settling down with someone and living a secular life.... Are you looking?

    ...Slightly off topic but I have to/want to ask....

    does anyone else love the humour of HHDL14?

    I genuinely find him rather funny at times...and find his laughter rather contagious

    LOL! Certainly do not mind. It's just that photo is not of him meditating. In his hands are a dorje and a bell, so he's praying during some sort of celebration or ceremony.

    Personally, I find his humor and laughter contagious due to his child-like and innocent view on many things. Although, and obviously, many topics bring out his seriousness and (by his own admission) even anger, his lightheartedness is so very child-like that it's hard not to smile yourself.

    Doug...just for you :)

    Yeah... I remember that one. A true "lost in translation" moment.

    Does anyone else think HHDL sounds like Yoda?
  • LookingformywayLookingformyway
    I think he is the closest thing to Yoda we will ever have :) I'm thinking about jumping on a plane and going to Onterio in 2 weeks to attend a lecture he's holding

    Looking forward to seeing him in San Diego and then in Long Beach next week. Will be receiving the Yamantaka Initiation from his Holiness.

    I meant his actual voice, but yeah I guess he's pretty much a Jedi master

    This is one I have never seen, also one which shows an expression I have not seen in his nature before :thumbsup:

    Clive Arrowsmith? I know that photo was used as the front cover for HH's book, "An Open Heart - Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life." One of my favorite books by HH.
  • andyrobynandyrobyn Veteran
    Yes, and it is one of my favourite books too.
