[Dialogue] Dalai Lama Gets Prof's Chair at Emory

Hi, Pat.  I have the 100 slides from the Odyssey in 1970, and I keep looking for a good excuse to get them transferred to a CD before they disintegrate.

Hey Jim,
I remember. 
 
I’ve often wondered if anyone else did, too. However, my memory being what it is today, couldn’t remember who all was on that Odyssey. Sometimes I’ve even wondered if it was the same guy we met that is so much in the news today, although I know it must be. I wish I could remember more details of that visit – what we discussed, etc. Do you remember? Or John?  I wonder if the Dalai Lama remembers our visit. Now that would be something. 
 
I remember some other events of the Kathmandu visit. I remember how shocked we all were having come unexpectedly upon real 3rd world poverty. We had braced ourselves for that in Calcutta, our next stop. I remember what Faith Vance & I did one night – having yak butter tea in a little tea shop off the beaten path where we weren’t supposed to be. Tea was awful but the sights, sounds, people were awesome. I remember talking with the crew from the airplane at the hotel casino that night. I remember seeing all the prayer wheel things outside the place where we met with the Dalai Lama. I remember shopping for a lovely wool shawl that was later stolen in the Cairo airport. I remember seeing the goat sacrifice or maybe it was the bloody sacrificial altar that triggered my imagination about the sacrifice. I remember the harrowing takeoff from the airport on that short runway up over the mountain (barely). I remember a few other events. What about you?

John, do you recall our meeting with the Dalai Lama in Kathmandu during the Global Odyssey?

Dalai Lama Gets Prof's Chair at Emory
Associated Press 
 
ATLANTA, Feb. 5 - The Dalai Lama, exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, has been named a presidential distinguished professor at Emory University, school officials said Monday.
It's the first university appointment the winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize has accepted, the university said.
The Tibetan leader said in a university statement that he looks forward to offering his services to students and the community.
"I firmly believe that education is an indispensable tool for the flourishing of human well-being and the creation of a just and peaceful society, and I am delighted to make a small contribution in this regard through this appointment," he said.
He is expected to deliver his inaugural lecture during an Oct. 20-22 visit to the university, and to participate in a conference on science and spirituality and an interfaith session on religion.
The appointment is open-ended but provides no compensation, said Emory spokeswoman Nancy Seideman.
The Dalai Lama's role includes providing private teaching sessions with students and faculty during Emory's study-abroad program in Dharamsala, India, and opportunities for university community members to attend his annual teachings. He also will make periodic visits to Emory, the statement said.
Emory also is creating a fellowship in the Dalai Lama's name to fund annual scholarships for Tibetan students who attend its undergraduate and graduate schools.
