The Dalai Lama plans to visit a healthy
minds center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May.


      The visit will be the seventh time the Dalai Lama has come the
Madison area since 1979. He last visited three years ago.


      During the two-day trip, he will celebrate the public grand
opening of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds on May 15, and
give a public speech the following day.
      


University neuroscientist Richard Davidson established the
center to study how the mind develops. Davidson has worked with
meditation experts to determine how that practice changed their
brains to encourage happiness, compassion and kindness.


      Davidson says creating the center is a response to a challenge
the Dalai Lama made to him in 1992 to study those areas.
