The Enduring Legacy of the 14th Dalai Lama

This piece is by way of tribute to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. I was privileged to meet him in the mid-1990s when I was National Campaign Director of the Australian Wilderness Society and we convened a conference on Tibetan Wilderness (an idea conceived by activist Chris Doran) held in Sydney, Australia. It was a honor to speak on the same platform as this extraordinary human being who exemplifies compassion and consistency of purpose. This extended article looks back on his life, philosophies and his ongoing contribution to advancing peace, compassion and kindness as a mantra for everyday living.
