In conjunction with the Dalai Lama’s visit, Rutgers is coordinating supporting activities that focus on themes related to conflict and moral obligation.

A Day of Peace at Rutgers—the first student-organized event related to the Dalai Lama’s visit—took place on Saturday, April 16, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., at Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus. All were welcome to attend.

Sponsored by the Rutgers Religion Students Association, the event featured a presentation from a Buddhist nun who addressed issues of violence, war, and world peace. Advocacy groups, including Military Families Speak Out and the Coalition for Peace Action, gave additional remarks. Musical guests Mieka Pauley and Emmanuel Ayvis performed.
