The Center for Compassion & Altruism Research & Education (CCARE) is honored to host “Caring Connections: Compassion, Technology and the Environment”, a talk presented by His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, which will be followed by a dialogue with CCARE’s Founder and Director, Dr. James Doty.

About The Karmapa

His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is the head of the 900-year-old Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He guides millions of Buddhists around the world. At the age of fourteen, the Karmapa made a dramatic escape from Tibet and took refuge in India to be near His Holiness the Dalai Lama and his own lineage teachers. Currently 29 years old, he is a globally recognized environmental leader, having created an eco-monastic movement with over 55 monasteries across the Himalayas acting as centers of green activism. He recently announced that he will establish full ordination for women within his lineage, a long-awaited step that will change the future of Tibetan Buddhism. Leading a tradition that emphasizes direct realization of the nature of mind through serious meditation training, the Karmapa plays a key role in preserving Tibetan religion and culture for a new generation. His latest book, titled The Heart is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out, is based on his interactions with American university students.
