There, in front of +the cave, I experienced something very special. I felt a spiritual vibration, +a kind of spiritual presence there. And then, in front of the image of the +Virgin Mary, I prayed. I expressed my admiration for this holy place that has +long been a source of inspiration and strength, that has provided spiritual +solace, comfort and healing to millions of people. And I prayed that this may +continue for a long time to come. My prayer there was not directed to any +clearly defined object, like Buddha or Jesus Christ or a bodhisattva, but was +simply directed to all great beings who have infinite compassion towards all +sentient beings. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama -- 2.34.1
