Who is Phillip Potter

Right before Archbishop Tutu's trip to Dharamsala, he attended the funeral of his close friend, Phillip Potter. While it may not seem fitting to include the topic of death in a conversation about joy, it is truly one of humankind's largest obstacles to joy. Archbishop Tutu begins to praise what a great man Potter was in life, but does not miss the opportunity to crack a joke at the situation as well; he jokes that both he and the Dalai Lama could fit inside Potter's coffin because he was such a large man.
