I am going to northern india soon, and I am in a small group who has been granted a private audience with the dalai lama. is there any good etiquette to follow? what is considered disrespectful?

It enrages me that you are allowed to see the Dalai Lama.

I was privileged to hear a lecture by His Holiness and, for 3 days, watch Tibetan monks create a mandala at the university I go to.

Yeah, even though they're totally correct about the impermanence of everything in the world, it's a damn shame to spend so much time constructing it and then destroying it.

Isn't the impermanence of the Mandala part of reason for creating it in the fisrt place?
