Valerie Reiss: October 2007 Archives

We received an overwhelming response to our Dalai Lama Kindness contest. It was almost impossible to discern the “best” tales of compassion—as several readers pointed out, all acts of kindness are blessed, precious things. But we managed to select 20 responses that moved us to tears or joy and seemed to capture the message of selfless compassion the Dalai Lama exemplifies—though plenty of others did as well.

Here are the "winning" entries below. Their authors have been contacted. Not to be too cheezy, but we feel like everyone won--we certainly feel grateful for being able to read all these amazing tales of kindness. And for you sharing them.

To share more, we invite you to check out new, our soon-to-launch community site. We'll have a Dalai Lama page where you can talk more about your experiences with kindness and/or His Holiness. Sign up here (it's free) to get involved.

Thank you.

If you didn't win, you can still buy tickets here: Radio City Music Hall
