Robert Thurman discussing and signing Why the Dalai Lama Matters June 2, 2008

Why the Dalai Lama Matters by Robert Thurman, explores just why the Dalai Lama has earned the world's love and respect. It discusses how restoring Tibet's autonomy within China is not only possible, but highly reasonable, and absolutely necessary for all humans to have a peaceful future. Robert Thurman, renowned Tibetan scholar, president of Tibet House, and a longtime personal friend of the Dalai Lama, presents a bold, reciprocal five-point plan for establishing Tibet's genuine autonomy within China, letting China renew its image with the world by allowing the Dalai Lama to guarantee freedom for his people. He illuminates a worldwide call-to-action, showing that power gained by might means nothing in the face of a determined act of truth.
