A note from Tikkun’s Editor, Rabbi Michael Lerner:
I was humbled and honored to be invited by the Dalai Lama to speak on two panels with him several years ago, and now to be invited to speak at the Lion’s Roar and Tibet House organized Dalai Lama Global Vision Summit. Other speakers you may know include: Sharon Salzberg, Robert Thurman, Serene Jones (president, Union Theological Seminary). Deepak Chopra, Mark Epstein, Dan Goleman, Robert Wright, Karenna Gore, and of course the Dalai Lama himself.
The pre-recorded program (so you can listen without conflict on Shabbat), features a few of these speakers whom you can listen to at your leisure. It is FREE. https://learn.lionsroar.com/p/dalai-lama-summit-schedule/
I know I’ve learned much from listening to these and other Buddhist-inspired teachers, and I imagine that you might also.
On Yom Kippur, I chant the beautiful message of our prophets: My house (Temple) shall be a house of prayer for all people (nations). I read (and pray this) as a respectful inter-faith call, since we are inviting others to offer their sacrifices and prayers, not as an attempt to convert them but to share their ideas and spiritual practices with us and we would share our spirituality with them. Imagine a world in which all the great religions extended a similar invitation to all religions and peoples. Well, that is part of what is happening with the summit, at least in intention if not in perfect actualization quite yet).
The pre-recorded summit sessions will be presented online from Thursday, October 22 to Tuesday, October 27, 2020. The sessions for each day will be available free for 48 hours, starting at 6:00 am PDT | 9:00 am EDT (North American time zones) Go here for free registration:

And what a gift to have in the midst of all the noise and craziness as fascism bids for yet more power through the Supreme Court and disrupting or delegitimating the November election. Please do go vote or send your ballot by mail. And many blessings to you, to all our allies, and to all who hope for a world in which love and generosity prevail (first step–please vote!).
