In 2004, the Dalai Lama spoke on “A Human Approach to World Peace” at the University of Miami, which honored him with an honorary doctorate of humane letters in recognition of his role as both a spiritual and world leader. Based in Dharamsala in Northern India since his exile from Tibet more than 50 years ago, His Holiness the Dalai Lama leads his people in a nonviolent struggle for justice in their homeland.

“We are honored once again to host His Holiness the Dalai Lama on our campus,” said University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. “His Holiness teaches us all an important lesson in hope, compassion, and humility.”
