Don’t despair if you missed the Dalai Lama’s visit last week.  The Tibetan Cultural Center from Bloomington is bringing Indianapolis a feast of cultural delights — singers, musicians, film, folklore, photography, traditional crafts, and momos (you have to try these!)  Even though we won’t see His Holiness, the staff from the center be on hand to discuss Tibetan Buddhism and their vision for and independent Tibet.

**Bonus: You can see the kick-off for Spirit and Place upstairs featuring “Danke        Schoen,” an exhibit of paintings by local artist Kyle Ragsdale, music by singer/songwriter from Queen Bee Music.
