The 14th Dalai Lama made the last of three local appearances today with a lecture at San Diego State University about upholding ethics and compassion in challenging times.
The Dalai Lama, a spry 76-year-old named Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism as well as a political leader, traveling the world advocating autonomy for his country, which is controlled by China. Today’s 9:30 a.m. event at Viejas Arena is sold out but will be broadcast over the Internet.
