The Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
It was awarded to him in recognition of his non-violent and peaceful teachings.

Renewing Dialogue for Peace and Advancing Freedom and Human Rights in Today's World. Kuwait, May 22-23, 2011.
Forum Participants include: His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Along with a load of other interesting characters. But is the Dalai Lama going to get his visit visa? Will be interesting to see if the Chinese business & economic delegation and the Dalai Lama are here at the same time on 23 May.
Have tried the website http://www.fahadcenter.org/ for more info but found zero on this important event, yet. No idea where the forum will be held or timings - but I, now, know who Sheikh Fahad Al Salem is. Lots of pics and videos of him. So I thought to call them and ask but seems the office is in New York.

The Fahd Al Salem Center "Mission Statement is to combat ignorance, which is the major threat to peace by creating cultural bridges to strategically overturn constant brainwashing of populations orchestrated by extremists through promoting citizen journalism and constructive messages via different media outlets."
I think citizen journalism is me :O) so wishing them the best of luck with that. But I'm a little confused still. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Will update you if I hear anything.
