Dalai Lama in Vancouver - Special Feature in the Vancouver Sun, Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Dalai Lama In CanadaVancouver - The Dalai Lama will headline a “spiritual dream team” of Nobel Peace Prize laureates and international activists at a peace summit this September in Vancouver.

The Dalai Lama will also be a guest editor of The Vancouver Sun for a special edition themed around "Educating the Heart."

"It is an honour indeed to have the Dalai Lama guest edit The Vancouver Sun. Humbling, exciting and maybe even a little bit intimidating, although I suspect a kinder editor could not be found.
