I'm leaning toward yes, because this is most likely a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I think you answered your own question.

Plus, you might get to meet Richard Gere...if he shows up.

I saw him in Melbourne a few years ago (one of the few acts NOT to record with the MSO).

A wonderful speaker, and very charismatic - even in a full to capacity 15,000 seat venue.

He was introduced by a guy who back in the early 60s had been travelling through India with friends and just dropped in to see if the Dalai Lama was in - he was, and gave them an audience of several hours. Probably couldn't do that these days.

Always thought the Lama was a great argument in support of reincarnation - what are the chances of picking a 2 year old and getting some one so good at their "job"?

yeah, i was at his (very humble) palace in Dharamsala in July. it was like a day or two before his birthday, so he was due to come back there, and the entire town got practically jammed by buddhists and tourists, so we just fled the town coz it was just too damn overcrowded.
