Thank you for the introduction and thank for all of you coming here, ahh, before I started speaking, we must reflect the events of yesterday, the passing away of the Pope. His holiness, Pope, and looking at his life, and he has done tremendous contribution, as you all know, as a young he had fought against Nazis, as you know, how much harm they had brought and hardship to the whole humanity and then there is his middle age he fought against communism and at his last, sort of elder years and he shared the holy teachings of the church and bringing all spiritual path …(0:1:24) together. And a tremendous contribution and effects of a one person’s life to so many people and of course we’ve lost, the word lost one of these pillars of the spiritual practice and we all have to do two things. I’m going to bring this from the background of Tibetan Buddhism as a looking at his life as a extremely, extraordinary person in a way that’s fortunate that we will be able to share part of his life, part of his life as our life. And he had purpose for his life, and he had fulfilled his purposes and he’s given a tremendous teaching of living, dying and also, just think about it, even if you are sick you live with the dignity and you do your needs and full helping people. And we must pray and wish that fulfillment of whatever wishes he may have had and for which we’ll be focusing our meditation today and a few minutes of silence and mostly rejoicing the great activities that he’s done and also dedicating our positive deeds for fulfillment of his wishes. So, we keep a few minutes silent.
