Three religious scholars reflected upon oneness, humanity and compassion with His Holiness the 14thDalai Lama on Monday, capping the Tibetan spiritual leader’s fifth visit to Chicago.
The rabbi, pastor and Muslim scholar shared their thoughts with the Dalai Lama before a sold-out crowd at Harris Theater for Music and Dance inMillennium Park. Eboo Patel, who founded the Interfaith Youth Core after an encounter with the Dalai Lama 13 years ago, moderated the panel.
Each religious leader shared how values of other religious traditions, namely Buddhism, had enriched their own spiritual journey. For example, RabbiMichael Lerner, activist and editor of Tikkun magazine, talked about not letting attachment to reality discourage him from seeking ideals.
