Question submitted via Formspring: “How come it seems that everyone (regardless of faith) loves the Dalai Lama and yet has severe resentment to the Pope?” This was one of the questions we discussed in depth in a recent episode of Rise UP with B. Dave Walters, along with: NEW BEGINNINGS! Setting goals, being too picky, dealing…
