Friday 22 June 2012 ‘Sold Out’

Tickets for His Holiness The Dalai Lama's eagerly anticipated first appearance in Dundee will go on sale next week.

His Holiness will deliver the University of Dundee's Margaret Harris Lecture on Religion when he makes a historic visit to the city as part of a UK tour on Friday, June 22nd. The event takes place at the Caird Hall at 1.45pm on that date.

The talk, entitled ‘Education of The Heart’, takes place during the University's Graduation Week celebrations. Tickets for the lecture, costing £25, £15 and £10 (concessions available), will be on sale at Dundee City Box Office, City Square, from Wednesday, 1st February.

The talk will focus on a message that His Holiness has been communicating for many years. Although the West has been immensely successful in respect to what he refers to as education of the brain, he has a very keen interest in also highlighting the need for a balanced approach which includes an education of the heart by cultivating love and compassion.
