The Dalai Lama is coming to Michigan

My sister, T, will be taking a class with the Dalai Lama this spring. She recommended that I take the class, too, but I haven’t decided. I read the Dalai Lama’s book when I was fourteen and am intrigued by different elements of Buddhism. Catholicism… Buddhism… they really aren’t as separate as one would think. I may attend his lecture at the university rather than take the class at Crisler Arena. I don’t want to make Richard Gere jealous by spending too much with his BFF! Also, I'm sure my sister will fill me in on all the details.
