		<description><![CDATA[  These were sourced from the internet. I don’t doubt their accuracy &#38; these 18 rules are very much reflective of what the Dalai Lama stands for and preaches by being the living embodiment of these rules. My personal favorites are (4), (9), (10), (12), (13), (17) &#38; (18) … The best I love is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sanjeevkattermal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9302389&amp;post=414&amp;subd=sanjeevkattermal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
