Without abandoning his role as the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, the Dalai-Lama at age 75 has announced that he will officially retire from his official role as head of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
His move from politics continues to align with the values of principled nonviolence from a Gandhian perspective. Once a representative from the church in England once said to Gandhi: “We are both men of God.” Gandhi’s reply was: “You are a politician disguised as a man of God. I am a man of God disguised as a politician.”
May the satyagraha continue for the Tibetan cause.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
