Thank you for the kind words.
Daniel,
The white scarf is called a "kathak" in Tibetan. When meeting a great teacher like the Dalai Lama, it is traditional to offer them a kathak. They usually bless it and then place it back around the neck of the person who offered it.
Fred,
Very funny and no offence taken.
