In 2007, as part of the celebration of the visit of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama 98H to Emory, the University's Visual Arts Department hosted selections from the traveling exhibition, The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama.

The photo above was one of those on display.

With the return of His Holiness to campus later this year, EAAvesdropping thought it would be nice for him to make a Photo of the Day appearance.

Plus ... he just looks so happy and welcoming ... it puts us in a good mood.
