今日头条:Dalai Lama talks compassion, not Tibet 达赖在美国讨论怜悯
By Manuel Valdes, Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE — In his first public appearances since arriving for a five-day conference on compassion, the Dalai Lama made no mention of the situation in Tibet, instead welcoming what he said was a new scientific interest in human emotion.
Organizers say the Seeds of Compassion gathering is essentially non-political, but co-founder Dan Kranzler alluded to Tibet, telling the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader on stage, "The world knows the truth."
China's recent crackdown in Tibet has fueled protests that have disrupted the global torch relay for the Beijing Games.
The first event of the conference was a dialogue between scientists and the Dalai Lama about early childhood development and compassion. That panel discussion and a second Friday went smoothly with almost no demonstrators on either side of the Tibet issue.
The mood was lighthearted, with the Dalai Lama often joking during the first two events about his personal life, and reflecting on his own parents."I'm happy to be spending time sitting with experienced scientists of compassion," he said. "Compassion is the motivation, but the real factor is action to change."
Panelists talked about encouraging parents or caretakers to spend more time with children and discussed how young children's brains are shaped by their experiences and early relationships.
The Dalai Lama began his U.S. tour amid continuing turmoil in Tibet and loud protests accompanying the Olympic torch's passage to Beijing.
Also on Friday, the Olympic torch arrived in Buenos Aires in its only South American stop of its world tour. Police, security officials and fences kept protesters from the torch on its 8.5-mile route in the capital of Argentina, in the most trouble-free torch relay in nearly a week.
He has said he is not against China hosting the Olympic Games.
Organizers of the Seeds of Compassion conference have said his visit was expected to help draw more than 150,000 people to dozens of workshops and events.
