The Compassion Shift Speaker Series at Emory University

Hosted by Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, this speaker series celebrates the global impact made by the Emory Compassion Center over a three-decade collaboration with Emory Presidential Distinguished Professor His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The event also kicks off a Year of Compassion at Emory––an initiative honoring the Dalai Lama’s 90^th birthday––dedicated to exploring how compassion is expressed through teaching, research, work, service and daily interactions.
