>>MEXICO CITY (AP) - The Dalai Lama brought his message of peace to presidential offices across Central America this week, urging harmony in a world he says is in crisis because of war, fear and intolerance.

>>Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of waging a campaign for Tibet's independence. The Buddhist leader has lived in exile in Dharamsala, India, since a failed Tibetan uprising against China in 1959. He has visited 52 countries, and last came to Mexico in 1989.

>>The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, will address Mexico's lower House of Congress as an invited guest. The visit prompted China to send a letter of protest to the House's leadership committee in May, asking its members to rescind their offer to the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.<<
