These Buddhist innovations are sure to rock the world of the Dalai Lama when he visits the White House. These Dalai Lama peace initiatives have inspired many and I wonder if the Dalai Lama knew how innovative and inspiring Buddhism really is. This cluster will totally exemplify that.
From Zen-inspired furniture that makes the room feel at peace to delicious-looking pears shaped as the Buddha, there are many Buddhist-inspired innovations to make any monk (in particular the Dalai Lama) feel at home.
