CREDO MUTWA MEETS THE DALAI LAMA:
Recounting His Holiness' visit to South Africa . . .

(November 3, 2004)

The Dalai Lama was then taken to a small room across the hall where he met Sannusi Dr Credo Mutwa, considered the highest [sub-Saharan] African shaman alive today. Being a great mystic, Dr Mutwa, who is over 80 years of age, focused primarily on the energetic element of His Holiness and his spiritual role in the world. His insistence that His Holiness central purpose on Earth was to bring peace to the planet did not seem particularly unique (we all sense this), until he threw the bones for the Dalai Lama. The throwing of the bones is an ancient African technique of divination, and only the most highly skilled adepts can accurately read the messages therein. But when Dr Mutwa gasped and pointed at the pile of items spread on the floor, nobody missed the synchronicity: for there, right in front of His Holiness, was a carved hand, and upon it lay a small sword, and right next to the hand was a gun fashioned from wood. "Your hand, Your Holy One, stops the sword," stated the Sannusi. The Dalai Lama scanned the rest of the pile, and pointed out a small upturned carved wooden car resting on it's roof. "I like technology, so what can that mean?" he asked half-jokingly, to which Dr Mutwa responded, "Oh, that's nothing to worry about... that car is simply making love to the sky," to which His Holiness and the others witnessing the divination burst into laughter. . .
