In anticipation of the Dalai Lama’s appearance at the University of Arkansas in May, a film and book discussion series continues tonight and tomorrow.

The series is organized around four films and three books and is designed to provide a general understanding of the life and work of the Dalai Lama.

The third film in the series, “The Sun Behind the Clouds,” is up for discussion tonight at 7 p.m. in the Fayetteville Public Library. The event will be repeated tomorrow night in the Union Theatre on the UA campus.

Also on today’s calendar, there’s a women’s bike maintenance workshop at Bike City at 1 p.m., and a handful of live music options.

Here’s hoping for an earthquake-free evening.
