Following the Dalai Lama

Like the subculture of people who Grateful Dead, there are certain individuals who follow His Holiness the Dalai Lama around the country when he comes to the states. Wherever he goes, as many Tibetans as possible congregate. Tibetan people are quite possibly the best dressed people in the world when they are in their formal attire. The men wear these elaborately tied robes called chubas. The women wear dresses in rich brocades. I know these thoughts aren't very spiritual, but this is only my first impression of His Holiness's teachings in Madison, Wisconsin May 2-4, 2007.
