Dalai Lama visits UB

The 14th Dalai Lama, the head of state in exile of Tibet and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people visited SUNY at Buffalo as part of 2006-07 Distinguished Speakers Series. The visit was on September 18-20, 2006. A State University of New York honorary doctorate in humane letters was awarded to His Holiness. Dalai Lama addressed a sellout crowd of 30,000 gathered in UB Stadium as part of the university's Distinguished Speakers Series.

The Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959 after the Chinese takeover and continues to live in exile in Dharamsala, India. He is the recipient of Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
