Live from Kalachakra: Indian commies bait HHDL at press conf

[siren...@yahoo.com]

My shoulders are aching from holding my camera up over my head all day
long, it's 12.50 AM, I still haven't been able to download all my
photos (don't ask) and we have to get up at 6.30 in the morning to get
a good place for witnessing the dissolution of the Kalachakra Sand
Mandala and its dispersion in the river.

I was all set to be a demure, novice, girl cub-reporter at the press
conference and not ask any questions, and ended up wishing that I had.
The questions were so unbelievably stupid (even after the Dalai Lama
stated he didn't want to answer political questions, they persisted).
The Communist party is strong in Andhra Pradesh state and there is a
local gang of pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-secular skeptics whose idea
of showing how modern and sophisticated they are is to try to make the
Dalai Lama, or any religious figure, look like a
hypocrite....www.sirensongs.blogspot.com
