Live on the web today: Karen Armstrong and the Dalai Lama talk about compassion
A TED Prize wish is about to be granted. We’d love you to participate.
On Sunday, September 27, 1pm PDT, TED Prize winner Karen Armstrong, joined by 4 Nobel laureates — the Dalai Lama, Jody Williams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire and Betty Williams — will unveil plans for the launch of the Charter for Compassion. The event will include short TEDTalks on the true meaning and significance of compassion by some of the world’s most inspirational figures. The event begins with a musical interlude.
We invite you to watch the event, live-streamed over the web … and to consider joining thousands of people around the world for the celebration of a truly giant idea, perhaps the biggest idea humanity has ever had.
Please be part of this. Details here >>
