Non-violence, their common thread

In this world so full of drama I ventured to see the Dalai Lama, so many problems filled me with dread. He said breathe deep and let it go, from your head down to your toe, and offered me a piece of manna bread.. The wise man shared the bond between Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hahn, although these spiritual teachers are now dead.. From different religions that's for sure, the persecutions they endured, yet non-violence was always their common thread.. Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King

Thanks Richard. Two spiritual brothers from different parts of the world, bonded by their teachings of non-violence. I appreciate your visit.
