Tibet Mural

Located on Willamette Street and 15th Avenue, this is another splendid mural painted by Jim Evangelista.  

I’m transported to an exotic and foreign place whenever I gaze upon this luscious painting.

There is also an appearance by one of my favorite peace advocates and world leaders, His Holiness the Dalai Lama.


"Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.”
                                                                                           HH Dalai Lama XIV

The west side of the building has another mural that depicts what, to me, looks like a monk painting the side of a building.  


"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
