Dalai Lama warns of being distorted by ignorance

The Dalai Lama brought his message of compassion, empathy and oneness to Madison on Sunday afternoon, mixing it with levity and tales of sibling rivalry with his brother, all while sitting crosslegged in his chair and wearing a red Wisconsin baseball cap. Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, was in town to participate in an hourlong â??dialogueâ? with UW-Madison neuroscientist Richard Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, which is set to open in the fall in the Waisman Center on campus.
