Introduction
The information dissemination is one of many important outreach programs of Active Nonviolence Education Center has been holding for many years. ANEC conducted this program at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery where the Lam Rim Chenmo teaching was held in 2016. This year we held it during Kalachakra at Bodh Gaya, Bihar. The outreach program saw us distributing literature, pamphlets and audio-visual material on the subject of active nonviolence and also networked with other like-minded organization as well as encouraging individuals/non Tibetan groups that support our cause.
The 34th Kalachakra empowerment by H.H the Dalai Lama was attended by devotees from about 90 different countries and it was perfect timing to magnify the message of active nonviolence, love and compassion to the world. Through this ANEC has been able to connect with thousands of followers regarding the importance of the principled and pragmatic nonviolence and strategic nonviolence relevant for the Tibetan Cause. Hundreds of individuals showed keen interest in the philosophy of nonviolence and their contribution to the world peace. Many applauded ANEC’s relentless effort and determination to spread the message of nonviolence in the Tibetan community and the world at large.
During the fourteen day outreach program, ANEC Staff members also participated in panel discussion, met with prominent figures, gave media interviews and joined in many social events to create awareness. ANEC team also had help from enthusiastic youngsters who volunteered at the Kalachakra gaining exposure, experience and learning a great deal from the seasoned team members.
Conclusion
This Program was a great success and it would not have be possible without assistance and warm hospitality of our hosts the Kalachakra Organizing Committee by providing space to set up our booth and those individuals who helped us in spreading the message of love, peace and compassion.
