Library Lecture: Why Tibet? Its Significance and Importance - TOMORROW


The Leroy V. Good Library (Brighton campus) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a lecture tomorrow, Friday, March 23, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Frank Howard, member of the Board of Directors of the Amitabha Foundation, will lecture on “Why Tibet? Its Significance and Importance: A Brief Overview of Tibetan History and the Current Political Situation.” The lecture will be held on the fourth floor of the library, outside of room 2-452.

Rochester attorney Frank Howard has been a student of Buddhism for 35 years, first in the Zen tradition and, since 1986, in the Tibetan or Vajrayana tradition.  He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Amitabha Foundation, which was founded in 1986 by Tibetan lama Ayang Rinpoche. Mr. Howard served as Ayang Rinpoche's representative in the United States from 1986 to 2006. Mr. Howard gives a talk on Tibetan Buddhism weekly at the Foundation, and last August he gave a three-part public lecture series at SUNY Buffalo Anderson Gallery of Art as an introduction to Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism in preparation for the Buffalo visit of HH Dalai Lama.  He is past president of the Rochester Interfaith Forum and a member of the Board of Directors of the Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue at Nazareth College in Rochester. Please join us for what promises to be a very informative presentation.
