Haven’t you heard? The Dalai Lama is coming to San Diego for a whirlwind tour that includes four appearances in just two days, April 18 and 19. The public events at UC San Diego, USD and SDSU are already sold out and, well, the fourth event isn’t open to the public.
If you’re one of the many who couldn’t get tickets, then you’ll be happy to hear that UCSD-TV will be live streaming the public events on our website for any and all to view. Then, in May, we will broadcast his UCSD and USD appearances, as well as the private event held at Scripps Seaside Forum. So basically, you’re in!
