Live Webcast: Dalai Lama & Compassion 2020
As this new decade begins, how can our state be a model for effective, compassionate leadership? How should we approach the urgent global issues that will challenge not just us, but future generations? The Dalai Lama has invited Washington state to take part in that conversation.
A delegation of community leaders, chaired by Lt. Governor Cyrus Habib, will travel to India for an in person discussion with the Dalai Lama on:
• mitigating climate change
• overcoming inequality
• improving civil discourse in politics, and more
6 Washington state students were selected to take part in the delegation. Their 60-minute conversation will be broadcast live – and all Washingtonians are invited.
