memento mori

Laurence Brahm has interviews with both the Dalai and Panchen Lamas in today's SCMP. The brief bio at the end of the articles:

Laurence Brahm, filmmaker, author, lawyer-economist and [SCMP] columnist, is the only person known to have met both the Dalai and the Panchen lamas. His inderpendent neutral capacity has given him unprecedented access to both sides
Clearly the modesty and humility of both Lamas rubbed off on Laurence.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the preceding Panchen Lama had a daughter? I think it happened during a period in which he was in disagreement with the Beijing authorities.

The girl lives in California and has a large following in Tibet, which makes her an asset to Beijing--she could *prove* whether or not the new Panchen Lama is legitimate because it should be her father reincarnated as a child.

Anyway, the best part of all this is that her Godfather/Spiritual Protector is a famous Hollywood actor: STEVEN SEAGAL.
