Dalai Lama gives guest lecture at SMU
UNIVERSITY PARK, TX
The spiritual leader of Tibet and 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner
appeared Monday as part of the Dallas-area university's Hart Global
Leaders Forum. An SMU statement says he was presented with a Doctor
of Humane Letters honorary degree from the university.
He addressed an audience expected to include about 2,000 high
school students, SMU faculty and staff and about 500 members of the
general public.
The Dalai Lama's appearance came after his announcement in
mid-March that he would retire as head of state for the Tibetan
government-in-exile.
