Empathy and Compassion in Society is a professional conference hosted by the Tenzin Gyatso Institute, an organization dedicated to advancing the vision and principles of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The annual conference draws international thought-leaders in neuroscience and psychology, who present their research insights on developing compassion in the workplace.
