During the interview, His Holiness dealt with various questions ranging from ethics and morality, social problems including wide spread corruption, role of media in mitigating social problems, and retirement of the Dalai Lama. Her interview with His Holiness was broadcast this evening.
After the interview, His Holiness departed for Luna Park Stadium, where he gave a public talk on “Finding Happiness in the Troubled Times’ for 6,500 people.
When His Holiness arrived at the stadium, many of the people who came toattend his talk could not managed to enter into the stadium because of the long line and tight security arrangements made by the Federal Policeof Argentina, which provides high profile security protection to His Holiness during his stay in Buenos Aires. His Holiness rested for 10 minutes in the Green Room of the stadium until most of the people managed to enter into the stadium.
Before His Holiness went on to the stage, Prof. Horacio E. Araujo (Lama Sangye Dory) welcomed His Holiness on behalf of the hosts of the visit—Kagyu Thekchen Choeling and Dongyuling Drukpa Kagyu Center—and also introduced His Holiness to the audience. After the introduction, when His Holiness went on the stage, He was given a rousing welcome by the audience with a standing ovation.
His Holiness spoke for one and half hours on the topic and then took questions from the public. Among the audience, not only there were people from all walks of life in Argentina, but also from Chile and Uruguay, who came all the way from these countries to attend His Holiness’ events in Buenos Aires. Several disabled people on wheel chair as well as others who have hearing and speech problem also attended the talk. The host organizations have arranged a special sign language interpreter for those with hearing and speech problem.
