 The International Campaign for Tibet is honored to announce a public address by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on October 17, 2007 following his receipt of the Congressional Gold Medal in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
Congress has passed a resolution permitting the International Campaign for Tibet to sponsor a public event on the Capitol grounds in connection with the Gold Medal award ceremony.
ICT is working with U.S. Tibetan Associations to organize a special event and celebration of the award, being presented to His Holiness “…in recognition of his enduring and outstanding contribution to peace, non-violence, human rights, and religious understanding.”
The Dalai Lama’s speech will follow cultural performances by the Tibetan community in a gathering expected to be attended by thousands. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend the festivities on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Mall beginning at 11:00 a.m. on October 17, 2007.
