Saturdayâ??s State Journal highlighted a visit to Madison by the Dalai Lama, calling him both a “religious” and “political” leader. The visit is in conjunction with the opening of a secular mindfulness center at UW-Madison. The article reports that fifth-graders at two Madison public schools will be “trained in secular meditation methods intended to improve… concentration and reduce impulsive behavior.” Apparently, weâ??re to assume thereâ??s no connection between the teachings of His Holiness and the school study.
