Dalai Lama speaks to thousands near Atlanta
ATLANTA – The Dalai Lama has told an audience in suburban Atlanta to focus on love and to be grateful for all that they have.
The Tibetan Buddhist leader spoke to thousands of people Tuesday at the Gwinnett Center arena.
The focus of the Dalai Lama’s visit to the United States is “secular ethics,” which is described as a system of shared principles that go beyond religious differences while still respecting and valuing the significance of religion in people’s lives.
The Dalai Lama has held the title of presidential distinguished professor at Emory University since October 2007 and has visited Emory’s campus five times.
