- <p> Declaring the International Year of Tibet, the Dalai Lama
- is off on a multicountry journey that brings him to the U.S.
- this week. Promoting Tibetan culture and calling attention to
- China's occupation of his country, the Tibetan leader-in-exile
- will talk about Buddhism to an expected crowd of 10,000 at
- Cornell University and meet with members of Congress in
- Washington. He'll also go to San Francisco, where he'll see his
- friend, Buddhist actor Richard Gere, whose Tibet House group
- organized the activities. The trip, Gere says, will "highlight
- the plight of the Tibetans, who for 40 years have endured an
- extremely brutal occupation."
