Dalai Lama plans visit to Oregon in May
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Dalai Lama plans a three-day visit to Oregon in the spring for discussions in Portland and Eugene about spirituality and the environment.
His office in India confirmed Monday that the visit is being planned by Maitripa College, a Buddhist institution in Portland. It's scheduled May 9-11.
On a visit to Portland in 2001, the Oregonian reported, the Dalai Lama attracted 25,000 people to Pioneer Courthouse Square and a crowd filled Memorial Coliseum.
A schedule shows the visit beginning with an interfaith discussion and then a public talk followed by a question and answer period in Portland.

Look at how smug he is. He thinks he is better than everyone else.
Who cares?Â
"Hello Dalai!"Â :-)

Free Tibet!
Time to re-name 39th avenue again.
I would brave a 25k crowd just to see the Dalai Lama.It would be a lifetime experience.
The Dalai Lama should get a full time job at Hallmark.
So what?
 @sortbait red neck hillbillies with 3rd grade educations and overweight wives all over oregon feel the same way as you
 @sortbait You should make it a point of seeing HHDL.  Then you would have an answer to your question.Â
 @sortbait Get back to us when you can draw a crowd of 25,000.
@sortbait so it's newsworthy. You see, it turns it that a lot of people really respect the guy.
 @sortbait Don;t concern yourself. It's only for those with a halfway-open mind.
