Recent Sightings Recent sightings: The Dalai Lama visits

Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, left, greets an audience of nearly 12,000, as he is escorted on stage by Chancellor John Wiley, May 4 at the Kohl Center.

This was the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner’s fifth visit to the Madison campus. His Holiness, who in 1998 received an honorary degree from the university, has taken great interest in the university’s Buddhist studies, and in UW–Madison’s research regarding the effects of meditation and similar practices on brain function, emotions and physical health.

Wisconsin Public Television will broadcast the Dalai Lama’s speech in
its entirety at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8. WPT has also made
available an archived Web-stream of the talk on its Web site.
