The Dalai Lama has a birthday, too
Craig Outhier, Tribune
The United States isn’t the only world-famous entity celebrating a birthday this weekend. On Sunday, Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso — better known as the Dalai Lama — turns 73. And he still preaches the Middle Way like nobody’s business. Celebrate His Holiness with these local go-and-do’s.

DALAI LAMA GRAPHIC NOVEL: Written and illustrated in the style of a Japanese “manga,” or comic book, “BioGraphic Novel: The 14th Dalai Lama” tells the story of the Lama’s reincarnation in pre-War Tibet and his peaceful, nonviolent struggle to free his country and his people. Along the way he wins a Nobel Peace Prize and hangs out with Richard Gere. All proceeds from the book will benefit charities in exiled Tibetan communities in Northern India.

NEW AGE FURNITURE: Al and Elizabeth Vitaro run their Web site business Zen By Design out of a business park in north Scottsdale. Though they sell few of their handmade meditation chairs locally, the couple has built a loyal customer base worldwide. Want proof? When the Dalai Lama last visited the United States, Al was asked to build a variation of his popular Rama Warrior Meditation Chair ($399) for the Ocean Teacher. And if it’s good enough for the Dalai Lama’s beatified derriere, it’s good enough for yours.
