ECOLOGY, ETHICS AND INTERDEPENDENCE

Powerful conversations between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and leading scientists on the most pressing issue of our time.

Engage with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His Holiness the Karmapa, as well as leading scientists, academics, ethicists, and activists, who all gathered in Dharamsala, India, for the twenty-third Mind and Life Conference to discuss arguably the most urgent questions facing mankind today:

- What is happening to our planet?
- What can we do about it?
- How do we balance the concerns of people versus the rights of animals versus the needs of an ecosystem?
- What is the most skillful way to enact change?
- And how do we fight on, even when our efforts seem to bear no fruit?
