If you’re looking for the ideal dinner guests you can’t look much further than the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We know the two enjoy an epic bromance and I’d be willing to bet they would compliment just about any meal you put in front of them.

Now the Dalai Lama has always been a pretty cool cat but Sunday’s appearance at Glastonbury has cemented his status as crowd favourite. Unless anyone in that crow happens to be Chinese, a country with which he has a very frosty relationship. Here’s Mashable with what he got up to:

[He] used his slot to denounce terrorism and violence. Speaking to some 1,000 people Sunday morning, he specifically singled out the “unthinkable” violence in Syria, Iraq and Nigeria.

“A lot of problems we are experiencing are our own creations,” the Buddhist monk said. “Violence is being created this very moment in Syria, Iraq and Nigeria. Humans killing each other in the name of religious faith. Unthinkable. Carry the message of love and tolerance and forgiveness”…

Later on Sunday, the spiritual leader participated in a panel on climate change, where he insisted, “Cars and aeroplanes have negative side effects, but they are also quite useful. But if this planet becomes like a desert, there will be no hope. We can’t settle in space, so this is our only hope; we have to take great care of our planet.”

He later appeared on the Pyramid Stage where he was kissed on the head by rocker Patti Smith and watched the crowd sing a heartfelt rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’.

If it were up to us we would have you over any time my friend. Unfortunately our mistreatment of you is just another black mark in a long line of government blunders.
