| Description: | Sydney's wettest June on record did not deter the huge crowd at the Domain who turned out to see the Dalai Lama speak on "Peace through inner peace" which was followed by a tribute concert. Senator Bob Brown and Australian Conservation Foundation CEO, Don Henry both spoke about the importance of conservation and the Dalai Lama's message. Andrew G was the master of ceremonies, introducing His Holiness and facilitating a lengthy question and answer session. This was followed by a presentation, by Jamie Durie, of a tree that was blessed by His Holiness and planted in the grounds of the Botanic Gardens. Once the formalities had finished, the crowd was treated to a free tribute concert with an impressive line-up of Jen Cloher and the Endless Sea, Blue King Brown, Mia Dyson, Lior and Ben Lee. |
