It was a brief meeting with a stranger in India, that had me face to face the Dalai Lama. In his house of residence, whilst I was travelling India. It doesn’t get much cooler than that.
I’d always wanted to meet the Dalai Lama and had written it on my bucket list. But I didn’t think it would actually happen. How could it? How would my path cross with the Dalai Lama’s? Well it did.
