ScaredSacred: Forgiveness, Justice and Genocide October 29, 2005

October 29, 5:30 - 7:00pm
The Camera 1028 Queen St. W.
What is the interplay between forgiveness and justice? What happens at the juncture of compassion and moral outrage? How does the spirit of a culture survive in exile or under attack? What about the perpetrators? And where is the sacred in all this? Join us for this fascinating discussion with three insightful minds drawing from their experience of the Tibetan exile, the Armenian genocide, and the turmoil of Lebanon and Iraq.
Featuring special guests Tibetan scholar and Geshe, Dr. Thutpen Jinpa (Cambridge University; principle translator for the Dalai Lama), Lebanese author Hadani Ditmars (Dancing in the No-Fly Zone, a woman?s journey through Iraq) and Armenian Canadian film artist, Atom Egoyan, who will be screening clips from his film ?Ararat?, about the Armenian genocide. Moderated by Velcrow Ripper.
