His Holiness with Six Nobel Peace Laureates

Nobel Women's Summit · Vancouver, British Columbia , Canada

2008 · Digital

From the collection His Holiness the Dalai Lama

We were in Vancouver in late January for the Nobel Women’s Summit. The stage held seven of the most influential moral voices of our time — His Holiness and six women who had each, in their way, refused to accept that violence was inevitable. I made the picture quickly. The light was harsh; the moment was short. What carries the photograph is who is in it.
