The University Libraries is proud to host a wide range of exhibits in September to celebrate the visit by His Holiness to the University. All exhibits – on display in the Architecture & Planning, Health Sciences, Law, Lockwood, and Undergraduate libraries and Special Collections -- are free and open to the public. • For library hours, visit Using a wealth of images and texts, and objects loaned by University at Buffalo faculty, staff and community members, the exhibits explore the life and thought of the Dalai Lama, Tibetan history, religion, medicine, music, law, architecture, culture, and the development of Western geographic notions of Central Asia and Tibet across time. Several members of the UB community have provided special items for the exhibits. Dr. Richard Lee and Susan Lee have loaned rare maps and other materials; Tibetan legal manuscripts donated to the Law Library in 2004 by Dr. Rebecca French are on display; a variety of items have been loaned by Dr. Stephen Dunnett, the UB Tibetan Graduate Student Association, Janice Nersinger, and area community member Martin McGee. Some objects related to Tibetan medicine are on loan from Rochester's Amitabha Foundation and posters and books have been donated by Snow Lion Publications. Special features include a computer-displayed video in Lockwood Library, which presents excerpts from a lecture on the Dalai Lama by His Holiness’ principal English-language translator and interpreter Dr. Thupten Jinpa and a computer-displayed-video in the Undergraduate Library, which presents an interview with University at Buffalo Tibetan graduate student Kunchok Youdon. The photographs of award-winning photojournalist Alison Wright are featured in the Lockwood Library exhibit. In addition, a Web site on Tibetan musical genres and musical instruments identifies articles, books, sound recordings, and Web sites.
