"His Holiness the Dalai Lama will participate in a discussion with leading scientists and educators on how to create a curriculum to teach secular ethics. The discussion will be held at Delhi University in Delhi, India, on January 14, 2013," says the event's streaming page.
The Dalai Lama will give his talk in Tibetan, with real-time translation provided in several languages, including English and Chinese.
This is a full day event, so viewers in North America who wish to watch live will need to stay up into the night. The first session lasts from 10:30 p.m. EST on the night of Sunday, Jan. 13 to 2:00 a.m. the morning of Monday, Jan. 14.
Then there is a one-hour break so discussion participants can have lunch. The afternoon session resumes live at 3:00 a.m. EST on Monday morning and continues until 6:00 a.m. later that morning, Jan. 14.
The 14th Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. He was driven from Tibet into India by the Chinese Communist Party in 1959 and has lived in exile ever since, promoting peace, Tibetan independence and modern Buddhism.
Chinese authorities continue to pressure other countries and organizations against associated or hosting him, but in the last several decades he has been effective in spreading his message. In 1989, the Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize.
