Respected Sangha and Dear Friends in the Dharma:

The Office of Tibet is pleased to announce that the First Tibetan Dharma Conference of the Americas will take place in New York City on Monday, September 22 and Tuesday, September 23, 2003. Moreover, we are highly honored to report that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has kindly agreed to inaugurate the event with a keynote address.

The Conference will be preceded by two of His Holiness' events: a teaching on Drupta Tsawa by Jamyang Shepa from September 17-20, and a public talk on Atisha's Norbu Trengwa in Central Park on September 21, 2003.

We are currently in the process of finalizing the specific details for this Conference, but wanted to send an initial announcement so that you may save the dates.  Your suggestions and comments will be highly valued. We would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly respond to our Cultural and Communications Coordinator, Annie Warner, at <mailto:annie@igc.org>annie@igc.org, to let her know if you would be interested in attending such an event. These initial numbers will be extremely helpful during our planning process.

As we anticipate a great response to this announcement, we will be unable to reply to each email on an individual basis. However, we will be sending a more detailed announcement and registration form in the near future.

With warm regards and best wishes,

Nawang Rabgyal
Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Americas
