We got blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama today!

I recieved a phone call today about 3:05 Pacific time from
Ruth Hayward, the director of the Panchen Lama -Tashi Lhunpo Project.

She just finished having a private audience with His Holiness
the 14th Dalai Lama, along with  Khen Rinpoche Tsetan, Bob Hayward,
Paula Fouce and Catherine Josey from the Agape church.

The Dalai Lama was giving some private audiences the day
before his teaching at a University in Santa Barbara.

The topic during this Private Audience was the Panchen
Lama - Tashi Lhunpo Project, which is for the exile Monastery
in India.. This is a very special Monastery in the Tibetan tradition.
It was the very first Monastery of the Dalai Lama.

Khen Rinpoche Tsetan and Ruth shared with His Holiness
the work of Panchen Lama -Tashi Lhunpo Project which
included the Strings For Tibet Benefit concerts this weekend.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama blessed this project and all those
working with it.

That includes us!

Ruth called me at 3:05 this afternoon to share the news, after the audience
with the Dalai Lama.

I got goosebumps! I called all the musicians involved, plus behind the scenes people
Vickie Pieper, Kevin Davis,  Doug Taylor, and our sound guy Joe to let them know what
had just happened and they were all touched by the experience.
