OXFORD, Ohio - University of Miami - meet the Dalai Lama.

The university announced Tuesday that the Buddhist leader will visit the Oxford, Ohio campus from October 20 through October 22. He will meet with students and give a public address.

The 14th such person to be recognized as the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso is considered the spiritual leader of Tibet, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his non-violent work to liberate the country.

The visit comes as a result of a relationship between the university and the Institute of Buddhist Dialects in Dharamsala, India. The Dalai Lama is a patron of this institute, which is considered a premier institution for the study of Buddhist philosophy.

The visit will be part of a Tibetan studies semester program, which began last fall and will continue to be offered during the fall semester each year.

More details about the visit will be announced closer to the Dalai Lama's arrival.
