His Holiness the Dalai Lama is in the midst of a four-day stand at Radio City Music Hall, teaching and lecturing on various texts and philosophies and attaining enlightenment. From May 20 to 22, he will speak on Shantiveda’s A GUIDE TO THE BODHISATTVA’S WAY OF LIFE and Nagarjuna’s COMMENTARY ON BODHICIITA, followed by a public talk at 1:00 on May 23 on “Awakening the Heart of Selflessness” (with a Q&A afterward). The fourteenth Dalai Lama, also known as Tenzin Gyatso, will then head straight from Radio City to the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine to participate in the interfaith dialogue “Enter the Conversation: Kinship and Its Meaning in Our World Today,” with Eboo Patel and Sakena Yacoobi, moderated by the Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski, and with a special performance by Paul Winter on saxophone. The Dalai Lama is an engaging, thoughtful, and intelligent man, and his teachings are detailed and complex; it definitely helps if you are at least somewhat familiar with the texts he will be covering.
