So: what do you think? When you see a media moment like this, how does it make you feel? Hopeful? Tired of the mass-media? Proud of the mass-media? Something else entirely?
Leave a comment after the jump, where you’ll also find more video from the Today appearance, including the “chat about happiness” mentioned in the first clip.

weird. but any opportunity to see HHDL is excellent and mainstream media allows his message to be broadcast to many who would otherwise miss it.

Hopeful. And it surprised me when I found myself putting my hands in gasho as His Holiness was exiting the car. I bet many people did the same when they saw these images on TV.
