his holiness
The Dalai Lama will visit the University of Arkansas on Wednesday, May 11th. There will be a morning discussion and an afternoon lecture both in the Bud Walton Arena on the U. of A. campus. He will deliver his keynote address, Non-Violence in the New Century: The Way Forward from 1:30 to 3 p.m. The morning panel discussion: Turning Swords into Ploughshares: The Many Paths of NonViolence, will be from 9:30 to 11 a.m. The two panelists who will share the stage for the morning session with His Holiness are: Sister Helen Prejean, the death row nun whose seminal book, Dead Man Walking, reached an international audience and whose film adaptation garnered Susan Sarandon an Academy Award, and Professor Vincent Harding, one of the icons of the Civil Rights movement who was the principal architect of Martin Luther King Jr.'s epochal speech, Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence, which King delivered on April 4, 1967 at the Riverside Baptist Church in New York, precisely one year before he was assassinated. The conversation that will occur between these three exceptional figures, as they consider the many applications of non-violence, both in their own lives and in our own, will be historic. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear these three transformational figures share their wisdom with us.
