We stand at a crossroads.
Our next steps will have far-reaching consequences.

The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values will host its
inaugural event in April 2009 with the His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the
speaker and featuring a benefit concert by Philip Glass. The Center aims to
nurture a new generation of self-aware, responsible, and caring leaders who
have a sense of moral purpose at individual, community and global levels.
