The story of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, the world’s foremost proponent of peace and nonviolence, as depicted in this full-color graphic novel, tells in its second and third parts of his educational training in childhood to ascend to the height of Buddhist learning and the political leadership of Tibet.

This work was conceived and its script written by William Meyers, keeping a promise made to the Dalai Lama in 1993. It has been expanded and refined with the editorial guidance and oratorical inspiration of Robert Thurman; backed by the financial and organizational support of Tibet House US; joined in creative collaboration by master of both traditional and modern Tibetan art Rabkar Wangchuk; and completed in book form with the technical assistance and production coordination of digital artist Michael Burbank.

ENVISIONING ECSTASY
Works by Cira Crowell and Christopher Michel

On View: May 20 - June 26, 2015

Envisioning Ecstasy features documentary and conceptual imagery expressing the kaleidoscopic experience of the Kalachakra Initiation and the complexity of life in remote Ladakh, India. The root of the word ecstasy, ek- "out," and stasis “stand,” conveys the simultaneous outer and inner visions of the two photographers, mirroring the transcendent nature of the Kalachakra teachings. The treasured Kalachakra, "Wheel of Time,” teachings are a once secretive ritual that brought wisdom to the mythical Shambhala and continue to be of great benefit to Tibetans and the world today. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama bestowed the 33rd Kalachakra Initiation in Ladakh, India in July 2014.

SACRED VISION, SEPARATE VIEWS: Contemporary Perspectives in Buddhist Art

Six New York-based artists-- James Walton Fox, Valley Fox, Shigeru Oyatani, Elizabeth Peters, Wesley Simon and Jayoung Yoon--render contemporary takes on Buddhist traditions and teachings through painting, drawing, sculpture, video and performance art. Each young artist reflects his or her practice and path to enlightenment through various media, which come together, reflecting confluence, compromise or conflict in the pursuit of truth. In the process, they initiate a dialogue on fundamental questions: How is the transcendental reflected in contemporary visual culture? How might art serve as a conduit for clarity? How might art and awareness converge as a foundation in contemporary psychology and cognitive science?

These artists featured are affiliates of the Nyingma Meditation Center and Monastery Palden Padma Samye Ling in Sidney Center, New York. Inspired directly by the wisdom and compassion of teachers Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche, these dynamic young artists have lived or worked at the Center. Practitioners of the Dharma, these individuals seek to express the knowledge bestowed in unique, personal ways through this exhibition at Tibet House US.

This closing panel of the Newark Peace Summit features one of the most eclectic gatherings of the entire event. The topic of discussion is the environment and the luminaries onstage proceed into discussion with passion and aplomb. If you are interested in eco-issues, do not miss this panel.
Panelists include: Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Laureate Jody Williams, Majora Carter, David Courchene, Wade Davis, Joe Green, Anthony McMillan, Jeffrey Sachs, Marianne Williamson, Youth Representative: Maurice Bernard

Evening talk series with Prof. Robert Thurman and Ganden Thurman

Recorded in New York City on Wednesday, April 10 at Tibet House US.

In series Robert & Ganden Thurman go over together some of the main points of three Noble Mahayana Sutras, the Vimalakarti, the Transcendent Wisdom, and the Flower Ornament, reading, elucidating, and meditating on key passages. Following this by moving on to three key scientific treatises (shastra) that focus on critical insights, experiences, and ethical practices, essential for transforming one’s own mind: Nagarjuna’s Jewel Rosary, Maitreya/Asanga’s Ultimate Tantra, and, the old faithful, Shantideva’s Entering the Enlightened Life. We look at passages from these six masterpieces in order to inspire students and practitioners to make the study of such key records of the experiences of the Buddha and his successors a regular practice, as they go on to dwell in them at greater length, “reading with both mind and body,” as the Zen masters have recommended.

The Peace in the World panel explores many provocative themes and aspects of developing world peace, from broad questions of global social policy to cutting edge new media efforts. The panelists ably fill the void left by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, who was unable to participate in the both this panel and the subsequent "Peace in the Planet," panel due to scheduling conflicts. That did not stop the panel from being thoroughly riveting and easily one of the most profound dialogues of the summit. Panelists: Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Laureate Jody Williams, Ishmael Beah, Congressman Donald Payne, Leymah Roberta Gbowee, Jonathan Granoff, Joe Green, Amandine Roche, Professor Clement Price, Zainab Salbi, Alyn Ware, Youth Representative: Isobel Arthen. Panel Moderator: Robert Thurman.
