Tibet House, New York
Robert Thurman is the president of Tibet House in New York. Tibet House is dedicated to preserving the living culture of Tibet. Members feel that the wisdom and art of all non-industrialized civilizations add meaning to life and enrich the emerging global culture. They share a special love for Tibet, its people, its spectacular highland and its civilization of extraordinary beauty. Tibet is called "Roof of the World" with a land mass the size of Europe; its mountain snows are the source of Asia's greatest rivers. Yet its thousand-year old Buddhist civilization of genius, peace and harmony is under threat of imminent extinction. By presenting Tibetan culture and its special art of freedom, Tibet House hopes to inspire people to join in our effort to save it. Tibet House is part of a world-wide network of similar institutions committed to insuring that the light of the Tibetan spirit never disappears from the face of this earth.
