Dalai Lama says compassion is key

Tom Heinen reported in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the Dalai Lama's presentation last night in Madison, and on the audience.
Nearby, Kalsang Gyatso, 50, a member of the Wisconsin Tibetan Association, was handing out tickets to immigrant Tibetans, many of them wearing colorful ethnic clothing.

Colorful native costumes if he was writing for the Travel section.
Litzie Burgweger, a former Episcopalian in her mid-50s, decided that Buddhism was the best path for her after seeing the Dalai Lama preside at a Kalachakra initiation, one of Buddhism's most important ceremonies, in 1981 at the Deer Park Buddhist Center south of Madison.

"People from all over the world came, and they were just peaceful and kind without being ditzy," she said. "You could feel the centuries-old traditions."

Did she experience too much ditziness and not enough centuries-old traditions in the Episcopal Church?
