DHARAMSHALA, May 10: Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama is scheduled to receive the 2012 Templeton Prize, one of the world's biggest monetary awards, in a ceremony at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London on May 14, organisers said on Wednesday.
The exiled Tibetan leader will receive the £1.1 million (about $1.7 million) prize for his work in encouraging scientific research and harmony among religions; the latter being one of the Dalai Lama’s three main commitments.
 "The ceremony will celebrate his long-standing engagement with multiple dimensions of science and with people far beyond his own religious traditions, which made him an incomparable global voice for universal ethics, non-violence and harmony among world religions," organisers said.

Report says ‘elements of cultural genocide’ could lead to ‘conventional genocide’ in Tibet |
|
|
|

DHARAMSHALA, April : A new report by a Tibet advocacy group has found that China’s “systematic and persistent” policies of “cultural repression and destruction” in Tibet contained “elements of cultural genocide” and warned that if unchecked, these policies present risk factors for “conventional genocide.”
The report titled, ‘60 Years of Chinese Misrule: Arguing Cultural Genocide in Tibet’ was released by the Washington based International Campaign for Tibet on Wednesday, coinciding with the 23rd birth anniversary of the XIth Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima.
Speaking at the release of the 148-page report, Mary Beth Markey, President of ICT said the report makes a “persuasive case” that elements of cultural genocide are occurring in Tibet.
“As such, we are calling for stronger international efforts to address and reverse China’s culturally destructive policies and practices in Tibet,” Markey told reporters.
