New Thought News Service photographers Ariane Davis and Wes Yarborough photographed His Holiness the Dalai Lama from their front-row seats at the closing ceremony. At right, Joy Wandin Murphy, a senior Aboriginal woman of the Wurundjeri people, greets the Dalai Lama following chanting by the Gyuto monks. At lower right, the
Dalai Lama takes in cellist Michael Fitzpatrick's solo, "Invocation for World Peace." At left, His Holiness reminds a rapt audience of the call to honor all spiritual paths. "All carry the same message, same sort of practices," he said. "We practice same sort of idea." Contradictions within and between the religious traditions, the Dalai Lama said, meet the needs of people with different dispositions. "It is necessary to have a variety of different religious traditions."

People we looooove!
Barbara Fields, executive director of the Association for Global New Thought, for spreading word of our grand plan.
Reverends Linda Reppond, Keith Cox and Jane Simmons, leaders who pull the best out of youths.
Peter Sovolos, technology services coordinator for the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre, for making this project possible.
Paul Ely and the other MCEC tech angels, for bailing us out when we fried our power strip.
Fleur Jacobs and the rest of the Porter Novelli group, who made sure we could serve as members of the working press.
Grove Harris and the Parliament's Chicago office, the starting point for it all.
Dr. Kathianne Lewis, Rev. Michael Ingersoll and the Seattle Center for Spiritual Living, all of whom humor Roya in her little whims and passions.
