As the world faces one of its biggest challenges in many decades due to the coronavirus
pandemic, we at ICT have been reflecting on the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
For a long time, His Holiness has called for genuine global cooperation among nations
and people to deal with the existential issues we face, from the climate crisis, to the
violence inspired by religious and political fervor, to the urgent need for warm-heartedness
and compassion as the best and most effective ways to bring about peace and a more just world.
This vision of His Holiness is what has inspired millions of people across the globe to
follow him and to preserve Tibet’s ancient culture of wisdom. ICT was created to help
fulfill that vision, and we are proud to be part of a community of compassion that
contributes to it in many different fields and ways.
Through a new series of conversations we’re launching tomorrow called Tibet Talks, we want
to give the ICT community and the larger public the chance to hear from some of those who
have been inspired in their work by His Holiness and want to share what they have learned
and why it is relevant today.
Please join us Thursday at 1 pm EDT for our first Tibet Talk with Prof. Tenzin Dorjee of the
US Commission on International Religious Freedom. And share these conversations with your
friends, as we will offer the opportunity to interact with our speakers online.
We are confident that the wisdom and compassion of our incredible speakers will provide you
with encouragement and hope during this challenging time. I hope to see you online tomorrow.
