Bengalureans felt blessed as they came in large numbers to listen to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama as he shared his spiritual journey. After Vidyaloke’s inaugural teachings and talks in New Delhi and Mumbai in 2017 followed by the Vimalakriti Teachings and Lotus Sutra Talk in New Delhi in 2018, Vidyaloke Talks held its session on the 11th and 12th of August, 2018 at the Conrad Hotel, Bengaluru by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Vana Foundation’s vision is to revive Indian wisdom. Vidyaloke is one of its pivotal initiatives and has an aspiration to inspire the study and practice of the Buddha’s paths to enlightenment. Vidyaloke means wisdom and light and it is through teachings, talks, interactions and virtual resources that they provide opportunities to study and also learn from the greatest teachers of our time.
Vidyaloke wishes to benefit all, especially India and its youth as they feel that a more enlightened view and an understanding of our spiritual interdependence would be India’s best avenue towards progress. It would also perhaps make it a source of light to the world in times to come. The two talks held in Bengaluru with His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama were on Courage and Compassion in the 21st Century and on Indian Wisdom in the Modern World followed by a panel discussion with Buddhists Scholars and Experts.
