- On Tuesday, members of the Buddhist community of Ewam Montana in Arlee announced that the Dalai Lama, leader of Tibetan Buddhists, will come to western Montana to consecrate the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas when it is completed.
The visit is expected to take place in late 2011, but specific dates have not been set.
"This is going to be such a blessing for Missoula and the surrounding area to have him come here," said Dr. Georgia Milan, coordinator of the Dalai Lama's visit. "We anticipate visitors both nationally and internationally to join us for this event, and help consecrate what will really become a very large pilgrimage site for people to gather in the name of peace and have a spiritual retreat in the heart of the pure lands of Montana." This is so awesome! Famous people don't often come to Montana... the population is too low to really get a message out or make any profits off of the journey. Also, security is a nightmare, especially in the fall, because it's hunting season and everyone's got their riffles in their trucks. Come hell or high water, I'm gonna be there. | |

Come hell or high water, I'm gonna be there. Have fun and make sure you don't lock him out of the hall, as a coworker of my husband did... (ten years later, he still hasn't heard the end of it). | |
