On Wednesday, October 17, the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of his efforts for peace, nonviolence, and universal acceptance. The next few photos will be of that event. Go here to start at the beginning.
People stood and cheered when the Dalai Lama finally came out of Congress after receiving the Congressional Gold Medal at around 3.

Some people look like native Americans. I know the similarity between Asian and Native American genes are big, very interesting to look at
