Dalai Lama To Speak At University Of Maryland In May


The Dalai Lama, head monk of Tibetan Buddhism and Nobel Peace Prize winner known worldwide for his activism for an autonomous Tibet and a more peaceful world, will speak at Comcast Center May 7 in a free campuswide lecture officials hope will lay out a compassionate path to peace.

The Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development lecture series has been sending out invitations to global leaders from its small university office since 1997. The chair’s goal is to provide a platform for world peace advocacy leaders to reflect on divisions and paths to peace, said Shibley Telhami, lecture organizing chair.

“He is an inspiration and a new voice for the campus community, sending a message of nonviolence and compassion from a revered world leader with millions of followers,” Telhami said. “The campus community has much to learn from this extraordinary figure.”

Hopefully, his security will be able to carry weapons of their choice that won't be outlawed by then in MD. Or he'd better be a Kung Fu Master.

would someone please explain to me why should we care?
yeah I know what he preaches about. The bad ol chinese but again I ask why should we care? They don't want to stand up for themselves. But want us to do it for them. Sounds like the rest of the world. Lets go fight another war on behalf of someone else!
Great!
