Since the last visit by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama in October 2007, Emory has strengthened the ties of the Emory-Tibetan partnership and has been committed to bringing together the best of the Western and Tibetan Buddhist intellectual traditions for their mutual enrichment and the discovery of new knowledge for the benefit of humanity. A return visit from the distinguished Emory professor again this October provides many opportunities to an even more exciting range of conversations, discoveries and knowledge that may benefit individuals and society.
