His High Holiness The Dalai Lama
THE DALAI LAMA CENTER
MISSION AND VALUES
Committed to Educating the Heart
"My religion is kindness," the Dalai Lama famously
says. The Center embraces this ethos and His Holiness’ belief that each of us
has a responsibility to "develop a warm heart, cultivate compassion and
work for peace within oneself and in the world."
"Educating the heart" is the Center’s tag line.
The Center will provide a learning environment that cultivates mindfulness: the
integration of mind, body, and spirit. It will encourage heightened awareness
within of our inner potential through diverse practices of art. And it will
provide a venue for creative interpretation of the world’s many wisdom
traditions.
By bringing peace into our own lives, the Center will help
to bring peace into the world.
VISION
Compassionate children in a peaceful world.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to educate the hearts of children by
informing, inspiring and engaging the communities around them.
VALUES
Compassion
Kindness
Respect
Inclusion
Responsibility
Altruism
Generosity
These are the human qualities that contribute to peace and
harmony locally, nationally and globally. We believe that most people embrace
and recognize the importance of these qualities, and are seeking ways to access
the information and guidance to bring them into their lives. The Dalai Lama
Center for Peace and Education is uniquely positioned to make those connections
and build capacity in those who are closest to our children.
Be kind whenever possible.
It is always possible.
- Dalai Lama
