| | Hello, Dalai: Tibetan spiritual leader to visit campus in fall |
 | | Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled leader and the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, will visit Stanford Nov. 4-5 to make public appearances that include a large-scale meditation and teaching event, a conversation about nonviolence and participation in a conference sponsored by the School of Medicine. |
 | | Born in 1935 to a peasant family in Tibet, the Dalai Lama was recognized at the age of 2—in accordance with Tibetan tradition—as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation of the Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion. |
 | | The Dalai Lama, who has become known worldwide for his advocacy of peace, tolerance and compassion, lives in exile in Dharamsala, India, where he serves as Tibet's religious and political leader and works to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people. |
