: Somebody told me yesterday that when the Dalai Lama spoke last: weekend in Vancouver (BC I think) - that he had 3 topics - one of
: which was the cultural importance of henna. Does anyone know what
: the Big DL has to say about henna? Did anyone tape his speech or
: know where to check that out?
Last weekend His Holiness spoke in Salt Lake City, Utah (May 10-13)
and next he was in Portland, Oregon. He is currently on a US tour,
but I didn't see BC on the list. I'll include a link to the schedule,
there are some url's included with some of the dates, and some groups
will offer tapes and videos of the events.
I've heard the Dalai Lama speak, and I've read much of his teachings
(and Tibetan stuff in general); I kind of doubt he'd address henna.
Sure, it's on some pictures of the Buddha, but it just isn't part of
Tibetan culture. I could be wrong, but I kind of suspect someone was
pulling your leg.
Zimra, who can certainly attest that henna is peaceful and brings
happiness though!
