The Fetzer Prize for Love & Forgiveness

The 2009 Prize is awarded to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu for their inspiring and exemplary commitment to advancing humanity’s understanding of the power of love, forgiveness, and compassion. Each recipient will be awarded $100,000 to support their work.

Tom Beech, President & CEO of the Fetzer Institute will present the Prize to the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Emeritus Tutu September 27 at the 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit.

“The lives of these two remarkable people give us concrete examples of another way to live. They stand for compassion in the face of isolation, love in the face of fear, and forgiveness in the face of violence.”
— Tom Beech, President & CEO, Fetzer Institute
