His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama is coming to Sydney Olympic Park this month giving Sydneysiders a rare opportunity to meet him.
The Nobel Peace Laureate will conduct five days of practice-orientated teachings at the Dome, Sydney Showground, from June 11 to 15.
Over five days, the Dalai Lama will explain why meditation is important to spiritual life generally, and teach the art and practice of meditation.
The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, an international ambassador for peace, compassion and tolerance, and one of the world's most revered men.
He will deliver one of his favourite teachings Stages of Meditation by Kamalashila.
Described by the Dalai Lama as a key that opens the door to all other major Buddhist scriptures, Stages of Meditation has been revered by Buddhists since it was written in the 9th century by the Indian scholar Kamalashila.
Ian Green, chairman of the group Dalai Lama in Australia, said: "We were surprised and delighted when His Holiness announced he would be returning to Australia to give this teaching.
"It is quite rare for His Holiness to deliver such extended, in-depth teachings anywhere in the world.''
