Sundayâ??s visit by the Dalai Lama will be his eighth to Madison, yet organizers promise something very different this time.In the past, the Tibetan political and spiritual leader has given public talks before huge crowds â?? more than 5,000 people at the Dane County Coliseum in 2008, 12,000 people at the Kohl Center in 2007. Sundayâ??s appearance at the much-smaller Capitol Theater is billed as a dialogue, not a public talk. The Dalai Lama is scheduled to discuss the intersection of science, meditation and health with UW-Madison neuroscientist Richard Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds.
