Tibet House, the Cultural Centre of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, will host a special celebration marking the “Year of Compassion” in honour of the 90th Birth Anniversary of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

This year-long commemoration pays tribute to His Holiness’s lifelong commitment to nonviolence, universal responsibility, and compassion for all beings. Recognised globally as a symbol of peace, wisdom, and compassion, His Holiness has inspired millions across cultures and religions. The “Year of Compassion” will feature a series of events and initiatives aimed at promoting these core values, encouraging individuals and communities to embody compassion in thought and action.  This celebration is a heartfelt tribute to His Holiness’s profound legacy of Peace, Compassion, and Universal Responsibility. A Special Highlight of the event will be a Panel Discussion on the theme “The Four Principal Commitments of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama,” scheduled from 03:00 PM to 04:30 PM (IST) at Hamco Auditorium, Chinmaya Mission Delhi, Lodhi Road.

The Panel will bring together distinguished speakers and thought leaders from diverse fields who will reflect on each of His Holiness’s four principal commitments: the promotion of human values, inter-religious harmony, the preservation of Tibetan culture and Buddhism, and reviving the ancient Indian knowledge of mind and emotions in harmony with modern education. Each speaker will offer their unique insights into how these commitments remain deeply relevant in addressing today’s global challenges—be it conflict, inequality, environmental degradation, or emotional well-being.

Following the panel discussion, the programme will continue with a Cultural Performance from 03:45 PM to 04:20 PM (IST), showcasing the rich heritage and artistic expressions that echo the timeless values championed by His Holiness. These performances are not only a celebration of culture but also a reminder of the deep interconnection between inner peace and cultural preservation.
