I attended the Dalai Lama's public talk on Monday. Congressman John Lewis was there and gave an introductory speech. The audience was diverse and I felt it represented the eclectic cultural and ethnic background of the city. One of the things the Dalai Lama spoke of is the special connection between the Tibetan Buddhist community and Atlanta. This has to do with Emory University, Oglethorpe University, the Drepung Loseling Institute, and the American seat of Drepung Loseling established as Losel Shedrup Ling in Mineral Bluff , Georgia. ......... Then on Wednesday, I watched a documentary on "Black Metal." I suppose the combination of these two things is what makes me ME. : ) ......... Yesterday I reviewed the various music that will be developed for the next Jarboe commercially released album and I also worked on the next website only release of "Stream Enterer" cdr - for Solstice 07.
