Learning the Art, His Holiness the Dalai Lama Teaches Happiness in Toronto

Toronto, Ontario - The Canadian Tibetan Association of Ontario (CTAO) has invited His Holiness the Dalai Lama on this special occasion to address the people of Toronto. President of CTAO, Mr. Norbu Tsering states, “We are thrilled to host this visit by our spiritual and temporal leader His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama; he is admired and respected worldwide as a man of peace and compassion but we are also very proud that he will be returning here as a Canadian Citizen.”

In April 2004 His Holiness bestowed the Kalachakra for World Peace to over 9000 pilgrims from all around the world at the Exhibition Place.  His Holiness also addressed a crowd of 30,000 people at the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome) on April 25, 2004.  People were inspired by his speech as it was simple but yet so profound.  His Holiness spoke on the "Power of Compassion"

 Awarded the third only honorary Canadian Citizenship in 2006 and most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a strong advocate for non-violence, inter-religious understanding and universal responsibility.
