Piece Description
2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Dalai Lama's exile from Tibet. On this program, Suzanne Kryder talks with Tibetan scholar Dr. Robert Thurman, author of the book Why The Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet and the World. Also featured is Pico Iyer, author of The Open Road: The Global Journey of the 14th Dalai Lama. Listeners will also hear excerpts from the Dalai Lama's 2008 appearance at Seattle's Seeds of Compassion Conference. This program explores how the Dalai Lama's life and story might inspire our own search for personal and global peace. It also examines the Dalai Lama's proposal to settle the long-running conflict with China over Tibet.
