In the early 1980s, José Cabezón was the Spanish translator for His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, translating for him in Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico and, on a few occasions, in India. As a result, he became a lifelong student of the Dalai Lama.
The connection endures.
Cabezón today holds the Dalai Lama Endowed Chair in Religious Studies at UC Santa Barbara, which recently marked the 20th anniversary of that endowment. In a nice complement to the milestone, the university’s Arts & Lectures program on May 18 will host a virtual conversation between His Holiness and author Pico Iyer. Beginning at 8:30 p.m., it is the keynote event in Arts & Lectures’ yearlong “Creating Hope” initiative.
