I saw the Dalai Lama once by accident. He was at the local university giving a speech, but I had no idea he was even in town. There are some really nice hiking spots in the mountains nearby, so I went there on one of my days off to hit the trails. I always swung by the university after my hikes there because I really like the architecture and atmosphere. It's a very well-kept campus.

Well that one day, I just happened to be making my rounds when I saw a bunch of news vans and police around a certain building. I had no idea what was going on, but I had no intention of sticking around because I didn't think whatever it was was all that interesting. That was until I saw a bunch of Buddhist monks start walking out of the building in a very peculiar formation. Then more cops come out, and then more monks, and then the news people start taking pictures and video. I thought it was very unusual, so I decided to see what the hubbub was about

A couple of seconds later, the Dalai Lama emerges and I recognized immediately who it was. If I wasn't so exhausted from my hike, I might have been more excitable, but at that time I was just really tired and hungry and thinking about getting food to recharge. Luckily for me, he didn't stick around long. Just got in a car right away.

Funnily enough, I ran into a coworker at the restaurant I went to immediately afterwards, even though both of us work like 45 minutes away. It was another odd coincidence in a day full of them, I guess
