BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - The Dalai Lama is expected to visit southern Indiana again next May.

Spokeswoman Lisa Morrison of the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center says board members are holding meetings to plan the sixth trip by the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader to Bloomington.

The center south of Bloomington, was founded by the Dalai Lama's eldest brother, Thubten J. Norbu, who was a Buddhist lama and a professor at Indiana University. He died last fall.

The Dalai Lama last visited Bloomington in October 2007.
