His Holiness The Dalai Lama is coming to Louisville on May 19, 2013, and he will be giving a public teaching on "Engaging Compassion."

The city of Louisville has been selected to receive the 2012 Jack Olive International Compassionate City Award by the Compassionate Action Network International Institution in Seattle. This highly recognized accomplishment is the seed for HH the Dalai Lama to grace the city with his teachings.

“I’ve said from day one," says Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, "that we’re going to pursue being recognized as the most compassionate city in the world – and if that prods other cities to try to outdo us, then ‘Game On.’ In a competition centered on compassion, everyone wins!”

I believe that Springfield, MO has within us the capacity to become one of the highly recognized compassionate cities of the world. If compassion is your passion, let's take a peace pilgrimage to Louisville this Spring to learn from a master teacher on this heart-expanding topic.

I am posting this meetup far in advance so that everyone can plan way ahead. Soon, I will have the details on our lodging, which will be hosted by my good friends in Louisville. When you RSVP, be sure to mention any needs, questions, or curiosities, so that I can make this a very smooth and focused trip. Closer to the date, we will work out details on transportation and carpooling.
