Guatemala welcomed the Dalai Lama in October and we basked in his message of world peace, which was welcome as we suffer murky political moments around the globe.
In the photo above the Dalai Lama is about to place a rose in the Monument for Peace, at the National Palace of Culture, on his first day to Guatemala, which included a press conference, private meetings, with President Berger, and a dialogue with a group of women pro defense of civil rights, among them Guatemalan Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu.
