You know, I recently tried meditating because everyone says it's great for stress relief. So, I downloaded this meditation app, and it's led by a calm voice guiding you through relaxation techniques. I was feeling all zen and peaceful until the meditation guide said, "Imagine yourself on a serene mountain, and imagine the Dalai Lama sitting next to you." Now, I don't know about you, but my inner peace was suddenly replaced with inner panic. I mean, I barely know how to impress my neighbors, and now I've got the Dalai Lama judging my meditation skills? I can imagine him thinking, "This guy can't even quiet his mind for two minutes. No wonder he's not enlightened!"
And then there's the pressure to be as wise as the Dalai Lama. I'm there trying to meditate, thinking, "Should I ask him for life advice? Maybe get his take on my career choices?" It turns out, meditating with the Dalai Lama is a lot more stressful than I anticipated. I just wanted to relax, not audition for a spiritual talent show.

I've been contemplating life's big questions lately. You know, the kind of questions that keep you up at night, like "What's the meaning of life?" and "Why do we exist?" But then I started thinking about the Dalai Lama and how he's been pondering these questions for decades. I bet the Dalai Lama has a list of philosophical inquiries that keeps him up at night. Questions like, "If a yak meditates in the Himalayas and no one is around to hear it, does it achieve enlightenment?" or "If you're reincarnated as a mosquito, do you still get good karma if you resist biting someone?"
And imagine him consulting with other spiritual leaders, having a deep conversation like, "Hey, Pope, got any wisdom on why bad things happen to good people?" And the Pope is like, "Sorry, Dalai, I'm still trying to figure out why my Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting."
I guess what I'm saying is, if the Dalai Lama is still grappling with life's mysteries, the rest of us can cut ourselves some slack. Maybe the meaning of life is just one big cosmic punchline, and the Dalai Lama is up there somewhere, chuckling at the Dalai Dilemma.

So, I was telling my friend about this Dalai Lama meditation experience, and they said, "Well, maybe you're just not cut out for meditation. The Dalai Lama is a tough meditation coach!" I'm like, "Tough meditation coach? I didn't sign up for a mindfulness boot camp!" And then my friend goes on to say, "You know, the Dalai Lama probably meditates for hours without a single thought." I'm thinking, "Hours without a thought? I can't go five minutes without wondering if I left the oven on or if I accidentally insulted someone in 2007!"
I decided I need a meditation guide who understands my level of inner chaos. Maybe someone like the Dalai Lama, but on a particularly scatterbrained day. You know, guiding me through meditation like, "Imagine yourself on a mountain... Oh wait, did I forget to feed my pet yak?" Now that's a meditation I can relate to.

I recently read that the Dalai Lama has a sweet tooth. Can you believe that? The spiritual leader of Tibet, craving sweets like the rest of us. I'm thinking, "What's his favorite dessert? Nirvana Nougat? Enlightenment Eclairs?" And then I'm picturing him sneaking into a bakery in the middle of the night, trying to be all stealthy but wearing that unmistakable orange robe. The baker catches him and says, "Dalai Lama, what are you doing here?" And he replies, "I heard you have the best karma cookies in town."
It's just so refreshing to know that even someone as wise and enlightened as the Dalai Lama can't resist the temptation of a good dessert. Maybe next time I'm stressed, I'll skip the meditation and head straight for the nearest bakery. If it's good enough for the Dalai Lama, it's good enough for me.
