Two of the most beautiful men who ever existed.

I hope this link will work for anyone outside the UK. In these dark times, it will heal the soul. I have absolutely nothing but respect for genuinely spiritual people, and genuinely religious ones too.

  4. Thank you, Tom - I went to Youtube and got at least a few snippets - they made my day! I agree with the Dalai Lama on the (saddening) effect of newspapers (choose them well) - and was so surprised how much the Dalai Lama touched Tutu - the Dalai Lama is so vivid, so marvellous!

  5. Well I couldn't see it either, Tom, as the BBC wanted me to sign in with a password and I never get into those involvements. But I can imagine how Tutu and the Dalai Lhama got on and I agree that they are/were two of the most beautiful people

    2. Why on earth would I want to use iPlayer? There is little I watch on the BBC channels anyway.

  6. Well I saw it. They are indeed beautiful and wise, notice how the Dalai Llama kept touching Tutu's hand. It was also a fascinating insight to a history gone now, but one was about the ruthless suppression of Tibet by China in gaining territory, so current now, and the suppression of black people, slowly being addressed today.

    1. Yes, the touching was touching. Very relevant to today.

    1. We need more leaders like them. I see that a British government minister suggested letting in Ukrainians on fruit pickers visas.

  8. The physicality says a great deal and is a great role model for men in general

    1. Imagine having the Dalai Lama chuckling you under the chin like a cat!
