Dalai Lama

Just heard that the Dalai Lama is coming to Dundee in June this year. Apparently has taken 6 years of negotiation to get him here so I'm going to try to get tickets to hear him. Chance in a lifetime I reckon.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

Really? I'd like to go too. Do you have a link?

Don't agree with the first bit of his statement, but I agree with the second. ;o)

Sorry can't find a link - got my info through Literary Dundee on Facebook if that helps. this is the BBC's report

Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, is to visit the UK later this year.
He will give public talks in Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Dundee and Inverness.

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, will start his tour in Manchester on 16 June and end it in Inverness on 23 June.
The Dalai Lama, who lives in exile in India, is one of the world's best known religious figures.
Religious groups invited him to visit the UK.
He will deliver his talks in venues such Manchester Arena, Royal Albert Hall and Eden Court in Inverness.

Iwould very much like to meet the Dalai Lama as although I have great admiration and respect for him in this incarnation, I would like to ask him whatever he was thinking playing so nicely with the Nazi's in his last one- not sure his handlers would appreciate it though.

Thanks Maggie. It's helpful to know there's somewhere nearer than Dundee. :o)
