As mutual distrust diminishes opportunities for U.S.-China engagement, the National Committee believes that it is imperative to reach out to people in China, in their native language, to discuss the range of views on the People’s Republic of China that exist within the United States, and the history, culture, and values that underpin those views.

Join Robert Daly (Wilson Center), June Mei (consultant and interpreter), and Matt Sheehan (Paulson Institute) on Monday, November 16 at 8:00 a.m. EST for a discussion about the many ways the U.S.-China relationship has affected Americans, and the views that have developed in the United States as a result.

We will discuss the basic tenets of Tibetan Buddhism with a focus on some of the more unique aspects of its believers: the use of the mandala, khora, and the role of reincarnation. We will discuss and use clips from various films, including Unmistaken Child, Kundun, and Seven Years in Tibet. We will discuss the political role of the Dalai Lama and the future of Tibetan Buddhism in modern China as well. Prepare to learn, to meditate, and to admire the beauty of Tibetan Buddhism!
