Where's My Change?

The Dalai Lama is visiting UN Headquarters in New York City. At lunchtime, he goes up to a hot dog vendor, points to a veggie dog, and says:

"Make me one with everything."

The Dalai Lama then gives the vendor a twenty dollar bill. After a minute, the vendor has still not given him his change, so he asks, "Where's my change?" To which the vendor replies:

"Change must come from within."

Change Your Mind, Change Your Brain

This is an hour-long video about authentic happiness and true riches. The speaker is Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk who has lived and studied in the Himalayas for the past 35 years.

He assures us that we can still raise our happiness baseline significantly by meditating just 30 minutes a day -- you know, for those of us who cannot simply drop everything to become hermits. :)
