Hello Dalai
Well I was going to post this earlier in the day but our office Tubes were broken all morning.
Anyway, early this morning the new colleague commented on the Tibetan Prayer Flags I’ve got hanging from my rearview mirror. This reminded me that I wanted to mention that Kundun, Martin Scorsese’s film on the life of 14th Dalai Lama, is playing the Belcourt tonight.
This is part of the Philip Glass mini-fest, leading up to this weekend’s NSO performance of a commissioned Glass composition, followed by Sunday’s appearance by the Philip Glass Ensemble at the Schermerhorn. All of which I’ve been looking forward to as it is. But the point of all this rambling? Well, this weekend I found out another neat little tidbit — apparently Glass is also a Tibetan Buddhist.
Have you just been longing for an opportunity to use that subject line? I bet you have.
Heehee, actually no I almost didn’t use it, I was cringing, wondering if that was too obnoxious a pun even for me : )
