The Dalai Lama’s two-day “Bridging Worlds” visit is taking place under the auspices of Ithaca’s Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies, which is the North American seat of his personal monastery. The series will include a public lecture titled “A Human Approach to World Peace” at Cornell University on Oct. 9 and an interfaith dialogue on “Prayers for World Peace” at the State Theatre on Oct. 10. Tickets for those events have also sold out; for information visit www.namgyal.org.
Those attending the Ithaca College presentation are asked to use public transportation via TCAT bus. Cars will be directed to park at the South Hill Business Campus, where a shuttle bus will be provided. Hill Center doors will open at noon, and ticket holders should plan to arrive as early as possible in order to allow ample time for security check-in. Doors will close at 1:45 p.m.; anyone arriving after doors have closed will not be admitted. Once admitted, there will be no re-entry.
Attendees should note that no cell phones, backpacks, large bags, umbrellas, cameras, recording devices, food or beverages will be allowed into the gym. All persons are subject to screening via metal detectors and all bags are subject to search.
