And, in our New SCENE section… Local Author Tim Van Schmidt writes about the Dalai Lama’s historic visit in 2006.
The Dalai Lama blessed the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya at the Shambhala Mountain Center, now the Drala Mountain Center, in Red Feather Lakes.
He also accepted the first Living Peace Award there. The Dalai Lama, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
