Dalai Lama to visit Israel (YNET)
The Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled Buddhist spiritual leader, will visit Israel for one week in the middle of February to take part in the events marking the 100th anniversary of late Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's immigration to Israel. The distinguished guest, who has enraptured many followers with his conduct and declarations, will arrive in the Holy Land for the second time and is expected to visit Ben-Gurion's grave at the Sde Boker College in southern Israel.
