I visited Mother Teresa's orphanage in Calcutta in 1986 when travelling in India. I only spent a day there helping cuddle the babies and change nappies. I was impressed that she was doing something - the facilities were sparse but the babies were loved and cared for. I practise a form of Hindu meditation which is similar to Tibetan Buddhism, and have done so for 42 years. I don't care what someone's beliefs are, it's what they do with them that matters. There's a lot of people who have a life because of Mother Teresa, she had the willpower to make something happen and has saved tens of thousands of lives through her orphanages.
