I saw the Dalai Llama a few years ago when he visited Samye Ling ,a
Tibetan monastery in Scotland (and he was supposed to come to our
next-door island Holy Isle this Saturday for the opening of the new
centre Samye Ling has built there; only he's not). His extraordinary
presence alone is worth going for; but his speech was a disappointment
because he spoke almost inaudibly through an interpreter who had a flat
expressionless voice and the only microphone.

For some reason, I fully understand him.

Not even you would be able to understand him when what he says is too
quiet to hear, as it was that day :-). When he speaks on TV, he's easy
to understand.
