Weeks after the Dalai Lama visit, one element has stuck with me. As Tod Machover lead the auditorium in a single note for minutes. Everyone was asked to participate and the auditorium filled with sound. I noticed that when I participated, the sound felt an order of magnitude more full than when I simply listened. While there is surely a technical explanation for the resonance in my head, there is also an element of how the experience changes when I was part of the experience vs. simply observing. One could draw a parallel to group vs individual meditation.
