With this recognition, the Dalai Lama invites world leaders \u2014 at a time of growing global tensions, conflicts, and environmental challenges \u2014 to imagine a future in which humanity comes together as one, living in peace, fostering cooperation, and protecting \u2014 rather than exploiting \u2014 the resources of our planet.<\/p>\n

“”I am deeply honoured to receive the Gold Mercury Award for Advancing a Culture of Peace, Non-violence, and Environmental Stewardship, symbolising our shared commitment to a more compassionate and sustainable world. This recognition reminds us of our collective responsibility to foster understanding, wisdom, and environmental harmony”,\u00a0 said Tenzin Gyatso<\/span>, The Dalai Lama.<\/p>\n

Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, His Holiness emphasises reverence for all living beings and the deep interdependence between humanity and nature. As a global symbol of non-violence and advocate for the rights of the Tibetan people and the protection of their ecological environment, he continues to inspire individuals, communities, and leaders to foster a more just, peaceful, equitable, and sustainable world.<\/p>\n

“His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s profound commitment to non-violence, compassion, a culture of wisdom, and environmental stewardship has profoundly shaped our global consciousness, and is rooted in our ability to achieve inner peace, wholeheartedness, and sincerity. This is why it is so relevant today.” said Nicolas De Santis Cuadra<\/span>, President of Gold Mercury International.<\/p>\n

His Holiness’s work and message of global cooperation also highlight the ecological significance of the Tibetan Plateau\u2014often called the world’s “Third Pole” due to its vast freshwater reserves. As the source of Asia’s<\/span> major rivers, it holds the largest store of fresh water outside the Arctic and Antarctic, underscoring the urgent need for its protection to ensure planetary sustainability.<\/p>\n

The Gold Mercury Award Ceremony will be held in Dharamsala, the home of the Dalai Lama in the Indian Himalayan region, on 31st March 2025<\/span>, to honour His Holiness in a momentous celebration of his life and legacy.<\/p>\n
