The MIT Club of Presents "Living in Recession: Ethical Challenges to
Humanity” Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, Founder and Director: MIT’s Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and
Transformative Values and Buddhist Chaplin for the MIT Community Dinner at The
Woodlands Club Wednesday, October 14 Just 4 months ago, on the MIT
Cambridge campus, the worlds best known Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, officially opened MIT’s Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and
Transformative Values. With the creation and launch of this new “Think Tank”,
MIT broke new ground. No other major science and research institution has
created a place where students learn how to embody and advance such “universal
values” as compassion and peace. Such character training has become
increasingly important as MIT is “an institute that grooms technocrats and
world leaders” said Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, the Buddhist monk who directs the center.

The Venerable Tenzin has noted that “In this recent financial crisis most
of the people running Wall Street came from several Ivy League schools. When you look at the issues underlying the
crisis -- greed and deceit – why where these not addressed when they were being
educated” Click on Venerable Tenzin Biographical Sketch.
