The Dalai Lama in Melbourne

I went to a talk of the 14th Dalai Lama in Melbourne last Saturday. I have to admit I was a little bit disappointed at the beginning, because I couldnt' find anything new in his talk. Furthermore it was difficult to understand due to the bad acoustics in the footie oval.
However after some time I got into what he was saying and I started enjoying his talk. He talked about nothing new: deep compassion for the people around us and feeling responsible for the whole world. What I enjoyed was that he seems to represent what he talks and that he admits that he has not an answer to all the questions asked by the audience. Most of all I enjoyed his smile, which has the power to make thousands of people laugh, and which gives them hope and a good feeling.
