Meyer Sound Provides Support for Dalai Lama at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
Berkeley, California-based Meyer Sound Laboratories, manufacturers of premium professional audio equipment used by Cirque du Soleil, Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and Norah Jones, is providing support to enable San Jose’s Gyuto Vajrayana Center to host major teachings of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on April 27th and 28th at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Venerable Thupten Donyo, director of the traditional Tibetan Buddhist center, has been instrumental in making these two days of public teachings on “In Praise of Dependent Origination” possible.
“When I first met the monks, I felt a connection to and admiration for them. There are few things more important than spreading the message of universal peace and compassion,” says Helen Meyer, executive vice president of Meyer Sound. “It is a true honor and pleasure to be involved in making this important event possible.”
Meyer Sound’s support of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit continues the pioneering audio company’s decade-long relationship with the Gyuto Vajrayana Center. Meyer Sound has previously provided technical and audio resources for the Gyuto Monks’ tours in the U.S., as well as a sound system installed in their headquarters in India. Preceding their 2007 U.S. tour, the Gyuto Monks visited the Meyer Sound factory and conducted a ceremonial blessing.
“We are very grateful for Meyer Sound’s ongoing friendship and generosity,” says Ven. Donyo. “Time and again they have played an essential role in making it possible for teachings of peace and compassion to reach many, many people. It is their genuine understanding and appreciation of this work that is most valuable.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s teachings will be broadcast through a state-of-the-art Meyer Sound system provided by Pro Media/UltraSound of Hercules, California. Audio-visual coordination and stage management for the teachings is being handled by Meyer Sound associate, sound designer Dave Dennison of San Anselmo, California, with production coordination by Cameron Sears of Sirius Management. His Holiness the Dalai Lama's visit to the U.S. is coordinated by the Office of Tibet in New York, the official agency of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and CTA in the Americas.
