The Dalai Lama in Vancouver

Does that mean Richard Gere's coming to town again?

I got this in my SFU inbox:

Educating the Heart; Educating the Mind
Tuesday, April 20, 12:30-5:15 pm

His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue, to participate in a roundtable dialogue on Combining Educating the Heart with Educating the Mind. Other invited guests include Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Vaclav Havel, former president of the Czech Republic, and Jo-ann Archibald, Canada. Michael Ingham, bishop of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster will chair the discussion.

This dialogue will be simulcast to SFU's Harbour Centre campus (Terasen cinema), 515 West Hastings Street, and to the Chan Center at UBC and possibly other locations. The simulcasts are free and open to the public. Seating is limited and reservations are required for the SFU Harbour Centre location. Please call 604.291.5100 or cs_hc@sfu.ca to reserve your seat.

Hmmm... I just had another look at the date. I'll be flying to Barcelona that day... so much for seeing the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu for the first time in my life...
