HH the Dalai Lama has been given the Jamtse Lopon award by the Tibetan Women’s Association (TWA), in recognition of his “compassionate and perfect” leadership. The TWA President said this had been a key decision made during their 12th Working Committee Meeting last year. His Holiness said that women are biologically more sensitive to others’ suffering and urged more women to take on roles in educating on compassion.
