Flow ~ A Concert for Peace

On April 28, 2007, in San Francisco, California USA, we are pleased to present “Flow ~ A Concert for Peace,” to benefit the programs of the Dalai Lama Foundation. The concert coincides with the Dalai Lama’s visit to the Bay Area for two days of teachings and a public talk.

The concert seeks to inspire those who strive for non-violence and compassion in the world through the performances of two incredibly talented and very different artists.

The meeting of these two artists from such diverse cultural backgrounds and disciplines promises a rich artistic experience for all in attendance.

The Missing Peace in New York

dalai lama foundation logoThe Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama will be opening at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, NY March 9 – September 3, 2007.

The Missing Peace is a multi-media art exhibition that brings together 88 respected artists representing 30 countries. With the full life of the Dalai Lama as inspiration, the intention for this project is to shift the world's attention towards peace.

The Dalai Lama Foundation has developed a values-oriented curriculum for middle school (ages 10 to 13) and high school (ages 14 to 18) to accompany the exhibition. The purpose is to provide a framework for young people to move from inspiration to continued study and engagement.

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between the Committee of 100 for Tibet and the Dalai Lama Foundation.

The Great Mother is a Winner!

Women of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo-The Great Mother has been honored with the 2006 Insight Award of Excellence in the category Documentary – Biography.

Insight Awards are awarded by the National Association of Film and Digital Media Artists, and seek to recognize films that have made a contribution to society by raising social consciousness or public awareness.

Gyalyum Chemo–The Great Mother is one of a series of 3 documentary films that focus on the women of Tibet, their endurance and struggle for freedom and peace.  The film explores the life of Dekyi Tsering, the late mother of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, a simple village woman who became known as Gyalyum Chemo, the Great Mother of the Tibetan nation.
