Why is Dalai Lama's visit to the US so comercialized? Who get's the benefits? I heard the Fleet Center in Boston was SOLD OUT. Just wondering...

Saroj Ji,
Think about a life of refugee. Pretend, you are living in somebody else's country without status. Think you lost all your belongins and depends on others even for your fooding. A single person can servive, i can believe. How about a whole family, children, woman and senior citizens? Its the matter of survival my friend. Those refugees of Tibet will get food from that money. Their children will get education. Don't point towards un's grant. un also has limited resources. un is of all people of the world in need. That will be a type of fund rise program for his millions followers. that will be Hatti Ko mukh ma jira.
Really those people will be benefited who will get oppertunity to listen him. Thats why they are in the ticket counter queque from earlier night.go to front page of Harvard university. He is the with compassion in this heart. I wish i could encounter him.I wish i could get the oppertunity to listen him live.

It is sad that we cannot invite Dalai Lama to Nepal. His words are the need of this hour. Amidst all the chaos, confusion and corruption, we need something to truely understand each other and show love. Whole world has benefited from his experience. Why shouldn't we in the land where dharma first started?

Sewak Ji,
There would be many people in Nepal who would attend his talk but most of them would attain out of traditon. they would proud of hearing him and would not utilize his single words. Next day they would just talk to their friends, wow, what a enlightinig discourse!! marvoulus!!, awesome!! But in real life, no change. Whats the meaning of such understanding. We need a scientific culture. If something is giving result accept it, if not reject it. Nobody can be Dharmik just following the tradition and just listening the discourse.
I know what Dalai lama will say.
he will say,
don't do anything that disturb your peace and peace of others.
Everybody will appreciate, How many will follow in nepal?
Why such a long line in Harvard for his talk? Because, these people have scientific culture, they will listen and look for the solution. they will try to find, where is the teaching that teaches not to disturb ones peace and peace of others. They will look for it.
See the queque of young fellows to listen him.
It will take years together for most of the nepalese to grasp the meaningful thing and to follow it. May the day come soon.
