At the age of 16 he entered Drepung Loseling Monastery where, after ten years of study, he graduated with the Geshe Lharampa degree and continued his studies at Gyume Tantric College in India.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/40431-accepting-life-s-struggles-za-rinpoche">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/39742-the-dalai-lama-s-nonviolent-opposition-to-china-pico-iyer 2008-06-17T16:42:26Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSKzoeUPN1g&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSKzoeUPN1g&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/39742-the-dalai-lama-s-nonviolent-opposition-to-china-pico-iyer"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/44859" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/20/The_Open_Road_with_Pico_Iyer">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>Dalai Lama biographer Pico Iyer discusses the exiled leader's philosophy of nonviolent opposition to the Chinese occupation of Tibet.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Pico Iyer has been engaged in conversation with the Dalai Lama (a friend of his father's) for the last three decades - an ongoing exploration of his message and its effectiveness.</p> <p>Now, in his insightful, impassioned book, Iyer captures the paradoxes of the Dalai Lama's position: though he has brought the ideas of Tibet to world attention, Tibet itself is being remade as a Chinese province; though he was born in one of the remotest, least developed places on earth, he has become a champion of globalism and technology.</p> <p>He is a religious leader who warns against being needlessly distracted by religion; a Tibetan head of state who suggests that exile from Tibet can be an opportunity; an incarnation of a Tibetan god who stresses his everyday humanity.</p> <p>Moving from Dharamsala, India - the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile - to Lhasa, Tibet, to venues in the West, where the Dalai Lama's pragmatism, rigor, and scholarship are sometimes lost on an audience yearning for mystical visions, The Open Road illuminates the hidden life, the transforming ideas, and the daily challenges of a global icon - Grace Cathedral</p> <p>Pico Iyer is a British-born essayist and novelist of Indian descent. He is most recently the author of The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/39742-the-dalai-lama-s-nonviolent-opposition-to-china-pico-iyer">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38042-burmese-monk-appeal-for-cyclone-relief 2008-07-08T22:33:06Z Avaaz <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b1lkYTH2MJ0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b1lkYTH2MJ0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/38042-burmese-monk-appeal-for-cyclone-relief"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/42977" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>U Uttara, the Secretary General of <br />the International Burmese Monks Organization, appeals for support for cyclone relief.
