About the tour
Bodhicitta is the heart and cause of peace. The World Peace Tour is an educational journey — each stop is shaped in collaboration with host institutions who invite their communities to learn peacemaking, reconciliation, forgiveness, and nonviolence. Sand mandalas, teachings, meditation, and dialogue are among the ways that invitation takes form.
Peacemaking on the road
The World Peace Tour is an educational offering — not entertainment — to teach peacemaking, reconciliation, forgiveness, and nonviolence. Programs weave sand mandala, Buddhist teachings, meditation, and dialogue to examine the inner causes of conflict: anger, fear, and ignorance.
Bodhicitta is the heart and cause of peace. The tour invites us to become peacemakers in an increasingly complex world.
A tour built with hosts
Each stop is shaped in collaboration with host institutions and their communities — not a performance delivered to a passive audience. Hosts welcome the public, help adapt the schedule, and join the work of inspiring people to be peacemakers.
The essential questions
- How can we be peacemakers in an increasingly complex world?
- How can we stay inspired?
Purpose: train peacemakers — each of us can make a difference.
Who brings this forward
Supported by Geshe Tashi Lama and the Lawa Khangtsen monastics, Lama Yeshe Jinpa (Lion's Roar Dharma Center), Prof. Thupten Tendhar (URI), senior students, and community friends.
A word on nonviolence
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that." — Martin Luther King Jr.
Dalai Lama
"World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion." — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
