Western Connecticut State University and Do Ngak Kunphen Ling Tibetan Buddhist Center for Universal Peace are so very happy that His Holiness the Dalai Lama will honor the Danbury, Conn., region by giving two public talks during October, 2012.  

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama does not charge a speaking engagement fee and no aspect of His Holiness' visit is being used to profit financially. Any funds raised through sponsorships and tickets sales will be used only to cover expenses for these two events. Should there be any surplus funds from His Holiness' events, that surplus will be disbursed to charitable organizations under the advisement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

No private or special audiences with His Holiness are scheduled.  Please note there are a limited number of Sponsor Packages available and they will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to reserve your packages early.
