On Saturday, April 25, AHF was honored to host His Holiness the Dalai Lama for a public talk entitled “Peace through Compassion.”
More than 7,000 people joined AHF on a beautiful sunny day in Berkeley to hear the funny, charming, and inspiring words of His Holiness as he discussed compassion in people and in nature, including delightful anecdotes on former presidents, his childhood fear of caterpillars, and advice for this year’s crop of college grads.
Thanks to actor Sharon Stone, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and AHF Chairman Richard Blum for warming up the crowd and to the thousands of AHF members, friends, and UC Berkeley students who made the day so special.
