As the Dalai Lama turns 90, his message of compassion endures—even as China threatens Tibetan freedom and his spiritual lineage faces an uncertain future.
In collaboration with the Dalai Lama, Buddhist author and Sravasti Abbey founder Ven. Thubten Chodron releases final volume in a series that explains Buddhist concepts to Westerners.
Celebrating its 20th year, Sravasti Abbey, has evolved from one nun and two cats, into a community of 24 monastics dedicated to learning and practicing Buddha’s ancient teachings.
The Tibetans are a demonstrative, loving people, and His Holiness is well known and well-loved for his affectionate playfulness. He greets everyone he meets as a friend, a member of his own family, because for the Dalai Lama, every human being is a dear relative, a member of the same human family that shares life on this planet.
I took a risk, and found the love I’ve been forever searching for. No doubt there will be more chances to take in the future, but now it’s us taking them and not just me and no matter the outcome, we have each other.
