In celebration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday, the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) launched The Compassion Rising World Tour 2025 – a sweeping global campaign to honor the Dalai Lama’s life and efforts, while inspiring acts of compassion, spotlighting Tibet’s enduring struggle for freedom, and uniting global communities around the Dalai Lama’s message of peace and resilience.
“At its core, this campaign is about more than celebration—it’s a movement to amplify the Dalai Lama’s enduring message of compassion, wisdom, and peace, while shining a powerful spotlight on the hopes and resilience of the Tibetan people,” said Tencho Gyatso, President of ICT. “Through Compassion Rising, we seek to build more connected communities and mobilize action worldwide, planting the seeds of a more compassionate and just planet.”
The Compassion Rising World Tour 2025 will unite individuals and communities across cultures and continents who have been touched by the Dalai Lama’s message, and this milestone birthday will be a catalyst for solidarity, deeper understanding of Tibet’s vibrant heritage, and a collective commitment to compassion in action.
Campaign Highlights:
- The World Tour will celebrate His Holiness’s 90th birthday with Tibetan communities, friends and supporters around the globe, fostering cultural exchange and strengthening global empathy for Tibet’s struggle.
- Invites participants and/or organizers to contribute to a series of immersive “Tour Stops”—both in-person and virtual—that will bring His Holiness’s teachings to life through events, concerts, community challenges, live-streamed gatherings, and real-world acts of compassion that drive change.
- A dynamic digital platform, www.CompassionRising.com, will serve as the movement’s anchor, celebrating the Dalai Lama’s life’s work, offering inspirational content, community resources, and interactive tools to encourage global participation and action.
Together, we will strive towards building a powerful international network of individuals and partners committed to justice, resilience, and peace.
