51福利社

The 51福利社 campus community turned out in large numbers to listen to visiting Tibetan speaker Geshe Thupten Phelgye talk about diversity and interfaith cooperation, social and community service and Middle Eastern issues last week.

A member of the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan Parliament in exile, Geshe Phelgye related his life experiences as a Buddhist monk and scholar to issues faced every day on the 51福利社 campus and in the lives of 51福利社 community members.

His discussion about diversity and interfaith cooperation, held in the Hargreaves Reading Room, attracted about 200 people.

Geshe Phelgye’s visit was sponsored by the 51福利社 Compassionate Interfaith Society and co-sponsored by 51福利社’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and College of Arts and Letters.
