My Father-in-Law is a Buddhist and on a 2+ month trek in India and Nepal, staying at temples, ashrams, and monasteries. It think it is part vacation, part practice, and part pilgrimage for him. He had the opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama while there – no really!!

This is a huge deal! not only for him in the religious aspect, but also because of geopolitics, timing, and the future of the position. I know how much this meant to him and how happy he was! I am so happy and proud for him!

On the day we learned about his visit, we happened to be at the Fullerton Arboretum and took this picture in front of a tree that the Dalai Lama witnessed being planted. I sent him the picture 🙂
