HOBART PUBLIC TALK
Our Earth, Who is Responsible? Tuesday 8th December, 2009 - 2pm to 4pm
DERWENT ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE As long as we are on this planet together, it is important not just to live harmoniously but also to take genuine care of the environment. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a passionate advocate for individual and universal responsibility. This is his message and is the very basis of his teachings and those of the Buddha. During the Hobart public talk His Holiness will present, demonstrate and discuss how responsibility for the future of the earth lies with each of us. “As people alive today, we must consider future generations. A clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier then we found it.”

World Peace, Who Is Responsible Thursday 10th December, 2009 - 2pm to 4pm
MELBOURNE CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTRE “Compassion and forgiveness, these are the real ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life. We need to use differences in a positive way. Try to get energy from different views, from different opinions. Make dialogue - this is the proper way to solve problems. Only then will genuine peace between nations come - from mutual respect not from weapons or force.” His Holiness has been a champion of World Peace for over 50 years and on this day 20 years ago, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his non-violent, middle way approach to finding a solution to the situation in Tibet. At this talk His Holiness will speak of the responsibility we all have for World Peace. By applying wisdom and compassion, we have the ability to resolve our own differences with others, and then work together to create peace and harmony in our own community and the greater world. | Type of Ticket | Final Cost | | Plenary Hall - Platinum | $125.00 | | Plenary Hall - A Reserve | $75.00 | | Plenary Hall - B Reserve | $55.00 | Banquet Room - C Reserve
