Good morning,
Emory University is pleased to announce that His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Presidential Distinguished Professor at Emory University, will return to Atlanta October 8-10, 2013 for a series of public and campus events including programs on responsible citizenship, ethics and education. A website for The Visit 2013 is available at http://dalailama.emory.edu.
Two events—a public talk titled The Pillars of Responsible Citizenship in the 21st Century Global Village, and an afternoon panel session on Secular Ethics in Education—are scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Georgia. Admission to both (or either) events is included with each ticket purchased. Tickets go on sale beginning Friday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m. EDT at http://www.gwinnettcenter.com, in-person at the box office at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, or by phone at 1-888-9-AXS-TIX.
Having outgrown our on-campus facilities, Emory is pleased to present these public events at this 10,000+ capacity state-of-the-art arena, featuring free on-site parking, superior acoustics, and comfortable guest accommodations. In order to increase ticket access, all tickets are priced 10-23% less than comparable tickets in 2010 and include admission to the two separate public events. As in previous visits, His Holiness offers his appearance for the promotion of peace and does not receive any speaker fee. Funds generated through ticket sales are used solely to cover expenses, with any surplus being disbursed to charitable organizations under the advisement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
In addition to the public events, His Holiness the Dalai Lama will spend two days (October 9 and 10, 2013) on the campus of Emory University teaching students and engaging with the faculty. Emory community tickets to the on-campus events will be free and available through a lottery beginning September 1 through this website. A traditional Buddhist teaching will be arranged on campus through Drepung Loseling Monastery Inc. in affiliation with Emory University for their members and guests. Public tickets are not available for the on-campus events/teachings except through sponsorship opportunities. See http://dalailama.emory.edu/support for details on how you can further the work of the Emory-Tibet Partnership as they work to bridge two worlds for one common humanity.
Please share this email with family and friends. Tickets will go fast on Friday morning. We encourage you to visit dalailama.emory.edu and plan early. We also invite you to view and share a welcome video from Geshe Lobsang Negi for The Visit 2013 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrJxm5wXDhY.
I hope that you are able to partake in events this fall, and I thank you for your continued interest and support. For general event questions, please email info@dalailama.emory.edu.
