The Dalai Lama isn't much of a sports fan but CLICK HERE to find out what his favorite sport might be. I liked how he said he played this one particular sport despite not knowing the rules!! Awesome!! Who needs the competition in sports?!! What a great lesson he gave us with his self-deprecating style and humor that you can have just as much fun playing a sport in a non-competitive way.
He saying just do it to enjoy it!! Don't be so serious about getting it "perfect" and not making any mistakes. Now, if only we could teach that to the ego-driven professional athletes, and parents at their kids' sporting events who take the game more seriously than the kids!! Sometimes leading to fights amongst parents of players from the opposing team!! I'm not saying all competition is negative but it can easily lead to a lot of unnecessary suffering.
But I digress. The Dalai Lama is such a joy to behold and I adore his childlike innocence and his infecteous laughter and giggling. He is so disarming and I can't help but be uplifted by his essence. He is deeply inspiring, and listening to him and his common sense Buddhism always reinvigorates my dedication to my Dharma practice. He is a true treasure to the world.

Could've used that mentality in my hockey days. Hockey dads are the worst. I remember back in Michigan, that there were these two hockey dads that got into a fight, and one of them ended up dead (accidentally). All over some stupid sport. So silly, so tragic.

Great post, and great lesson. I was at the talk when he came out wearing the Patriots hat... it was hilarious. What was even funnier was that he kept it on through almost the entire talk!
Sports, now only another means of controlin' the masses and takin' minds off the comin' oblivion.
That's total oblivion, not some oming merge.
You're gorgeous~.................................................................
Well done!........................................

Are wrinkles appearing where there weren't before? Look tired even after a good night's rest? Find yourself frowning even when you're not?

I've never asked him personally but I feel confident that His Holinesses' favorite sport of "the sport of awareness" as all other sports pale by comparison.
I like this .
We should all just enjoy sport's .
