As I sat in the Dalai Lamas teaching yesterday, I had no idea what a historic day this was occuring on until Curt Allred brought it to my attention. The knowledge of this being the very day this amazing Tibetan political and spiritual leader finally placed his feet on Indian soil after so many percarious days, is overwhelming. Over 80,000 Tibetans followed The Dalai Lama out of Tibet to escape the brutality of the Chinese invaders. In a world that gives terra firma supremacy over people, he continues to keep his eyes on the people he loves and leads no matter where in the world they may be. On March 31, 1959, the Dalai Lama passed over the border of India to seek asylum after a fifteen day journey over the himalayas. theoktravel/dalai-lamas-great-escape-of-1959-from-tibet-to-india/2077/
