Mixing spirituality and commerce is often something to be avoided, but when you see the Dalai Lama being “advertised” on the Jumbotron at a major sports stadium, well, that somehow seems like progress to me.

His Holiness, of course, was at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA — home of the New England Patriots. Such a big event was of course covered by all kinds of media — and you’ll find links to some of that coverage, along with a handful of my own photos from the day, following here.
