At my day job at Beliefnet we're helping Healing the Divide, the Gere Foundation, and The Tibet Center to promote the Dalai Lama's teachings October 12, 13, and 14 at Radio City Music Hall--by hosting a ticket giveaway contest.

If you write a story that Beliefnet's editors like best, you'll score tickets to see His Holiness in person. Click on over here to enter.

And if you don't feel like getting all writerly, tickets are still available, here, starting at $80. His Holiness will be teaching on the Diamond Cutter Sutra and Seventy Verses on Emptiness by Nagarjuna.
