Lama Norbu blessed Dawn Gold yesterday at the Maitreya Project Heart Shrine Relic Tour stop at Kapiolani Community College. The traveling exhibit features Buddhist relics -- small, physical manifestations of enlightened souls -- from the remains of Buddhas, lamas and their disciples. The relics have toured around the globe in a mission of peace and as a means to raise funds to build a 500-foot bronze Buddha statue to house the remains. Today is the last day to view the exhibit, which is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Lama Library on the Kapiolani Community College campus.
