Dalai Lama to do webcast from Maui

Dalai Lama’s teachings from Maui will be delivered to the global audience in real-time through a webcast of his presentations on April 24 and 25.

The known spiritual and political leader’s teachings on “The Approach to World Peace” and “Eight Verses of Training the Mind: A Buddhist Philosophical Discourse” will be delivered online through the efforts of the Maui Community College, Stanford University, VX30, SUN Microsystems, The Tibet Fund, and the office of the Dalai Lama.

“We are extremely honored to be part of this historic event on Maui and are thankful for the collaboration between the community and business partners to enable His Holiness’ messages of inspiration and peace to reach the masses, including over 140 Tibetan refugees living in exile,” said Shep Gordon, chairman of the Organizing Committee of Dalai Lama Maui 2007, which is coordinating the visit by the world leader.

The 14th Dalai Lama is both the spiritual leader and the exiled head of state for Tibet. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his ongoing nonviolent struggle for a negotiated solution to the status of Tibet, which has been under the control of the government of China for decades.
