Ubi bene ibi patria
"ATLANTA: The Dalai Lama was formally installed Monday in his first teaching professorship at a U.S. university, where he encouraged students, faculty, staff and community members to look beyond money and fame for happiness.

Education paired with destructive behavior is wasted, but knowledge used for good is a powerful instrument, the Dalai Lama said in his first speech as an official member of the faculty at Emory University.

"As a professor of this university, I think you should listen to me," he said, laughing.

At a formal ceremony in Emory's gymnasium, students presented the 72-year-old exiled Tibetan spiritual leader with a faculty identity card."
