The Dalai Lama has said that one of the most hopeful things about humankind is that our global awareness – our awareness of others beyond our families, friends, neighbors and communities – is growing. He believes this increased caring is the key to improving the world for everyone. It is this ultimate goal – creating a world that works for everyone – that is bringing together spiritual and religious leaders from around the world to Rome and Florence for “Awakened World 2012: Engaged Spirituality of the 21st Century.” The Dalai Lama is a charter member of the International Interreligious Peace Council (IIPC), which, along with the Association of Global New Thought (AGNT) and the Interreligious Engagement Project (IEP), will be hosting the conference. |

The purpose of "Awakened World 2012" is an ambitious one: to call attention to shifting paradigms in our world today- including concern for human rights and the environment - and help facilitate the religious and spiritual healing of the world. Men and women representing a diverse array of the world’s wisdom traditions and cultures will meet to explore the evolution of religion and spirituality in the 21st century. The gathering will model the harmony of the world’s great religious and spiritual communities – their common ground and the differences that make them unique.
