The Dalai Lama Global Vision Summit has the personal support and endorsement of His Holiness. It is being produced by Tibet House U.S., founded at the request of the Dalai Lama to celebrate the values and culture of Tibet, and by Lion’s Roar, the leading Buddhist media organization in the English language.

Robert Thurman, co-founder and president of Tibet House U.S., says, “What an honor to join with Lion’s Roar and this team of positive people who share their dedication, insight, arts, and skills in the spirit energized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s bright vision for all of us and our world’s future, helping us see how love, science, art, and common sense triumph over gloom and doom.”
