The City of Glasgow is gearing up to welcome one of the world’s most influential spiritual leaders. At the invitation of Dharma Network Limited, the Dalai Lama will hold four days of talks and lectures in the city. From 29 May until 1 June 2004, the Scottish Exhibition and Convention Centre (SECC) will play host to the Nobel Peace Prize winner as he shares his Buddhist wisdom with thousands.

His Holiness s programme will have something for everyone, regardless of their familiarity with Buddhism. His public talk will give everyone a chance to consider the moral and ethical challenges we face in the 21st Century. He will then give three days of teachings aimed at more experienced students of Buddhism although it should be stressed that every event will be open to all:
