11:00
am to 3:30 pm
Luncheon and Panel Discussion
 Hosted
by UC
Irvine in partnership with Spirit
in Business, Inc.
This
gathering is by invitation only.
You are invited to a conversation with His Holiness
the Dalai Lama.
This conversation began October 1999 in Amsterdam at a Spirit
in Business sponsored dialogue that forged the book Compassion
or Competition: A Discussion on Human Values in Business and
Economics. In 2004 these issues are even more pressing.
On April 16, 2004 the dialogue will deepen at UC Irvine
into “Cultivating the Heart of Leadership: Designing
an Economy that Works for Everyone.” Business, academic,
spiritual and thought leaders will convene.
Our conversation will begin a multi-year initiative spearheaded
by Spirit in Business including intimate working groups and
major events. Through these conversations, a new partnership
is emerging between the Dalai Lama, global business, academic
and spiritual leaders and supporting world thinkers to deeply
explore the issue of creating an economy that works for all.
In August 2005, results from these gatherings will be explored
with the Dalai Lama in Zurich, Switzerland.
Come to UC Irvine prepared to build this community and shape
a common agenda. We will begin with a panel that includes
Bill George, W. Brian Arthur, Barbara Krumsiek and John Graham.
We will sit together with the Dalai Lama and a panel of remarkable
business and academic leaders for an intimate discussion moderated
by Andrew Ferguson. And then time for reflections and recommendations
at the conclusion.
This will be a small, intimate gathering and is by invitation
only. UC Irvine is pleased to host this dialogue in partnership
with Spirit in Business. In April 21 – 23, 2002, Spirit
in Business produced a World Conference about spirituality
and business Business: Ethics, Mindfulness and the Bottom
Line in New York City. It was a watershed event and provided
the meeting ground for the launch of a global institution
to further the mission and vision of Spirit in Business.
