Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education

Founded in 2005 in Vancouver but enjoying global visibility courtesy of its namesake, the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education is a non-profit organization with a mission to “educate the heart and foster compassion through creative learning, facilitating and applying research, and connecting people and ideas”.

The Center holds the prestigious honor of being one of the very few institutions to which His Holiness has lent his name. Its mission is to educate the heart and foster compassion through creative learning, facilitating and applying research, and connecting people and ideas. In pursuit of this mission, the DLC develops and runs programs for teaching mindfulness, encouraging awareness of inner potential and creatively interpreting and applying the wisdom drawn from traditions around the world.
