Neurobiologist Michael Meaney of McGill University will give an opening talk on the science of compassion, then the Nobel laureate will take the stage.

The Mind & Life Institute, a non-profit organization based in Virginia, is behind the initiative.

While he’s here, the Dalai Lama will also be giving private talks — to scholars and leading scientists — from Oct. 19 to 21 at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts as part of a Mind & Life Dialogues series hosted in partnership with the museum. Tickets are by invitation only.

Tickets for the Bell Centre talk go on sale Friday, May 26 at noon via the venue and Evenko (514-790-2525; evenko.ca). Cost: $34.75 to $171.
