The Dalai Lama On Why I Laugh, by The Dalai Lama
(Read the article, then the poem)
Laughter as spiritual practice:
The Dalai Lama is a holy fool,
Andrew Weil laughs, too--of course Oprah.
Even the new Pope is on on the joke--
Those who smile when their heart is breaking inherit the Earth--
What's left of it--
And the job of making the world live up to laughter.
Hope is jolly, holy folly~
Laughter leapt lovingly out of Pandora's box.
