Tibetan Monk To Speak

The elder brother of Tibet's Dalai
Lama Thubten Jigme Norbu, will visit the
University April 12-26.

During his stay Norbu will lecture
twice and lead several conferences on
Tibetan culture.

Mr. Norbu, educated as a monk, was
the abbot of one of Tibet's largest
monasteries until he left the country soon
after the communists arrived in 1949.

Now assistant professor of Uralic and
Altaic Studies at Indiana University,
Norbu was recognized as a child of the
24th reincarnation of the 15th century
Tibetan monk and teacher Tagster.
