Dalai Lama gets professorship from Emory

Emory University in Atlanta was the weekend host for events surrounding the visit of the Dalai Lama and other spiritual leaders. The panel called for followers to practice understanding of others’ religions across the world. The Dalai Lama said Sunday "The world is getting smaller. We really need closer understanding of each other. It's essential".

The Dalai Lama today will get a distinguished professorship from Emory. He will speak to the public in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, along with delivering a lecture at Emory. Over the weekend, thousands on the campus of the private college heard the Tibetan leader talk on subjects ranging from neuroscience to Buddhist meditation.
