Civil Beat has confirmed that the Dalai Lama is in Honolulu.

He left the Honolulu International Airport with his entourage of about 12 cars — 8 or 9 of which were police cruisers and Sheriff’s SUVs. There was also a Roberts Hawaii shuttle bus.

The Dalai Lama is headed to his hotel and will begin his public activities tomorrow.
