Foundation of Universal Peace Forum
Meeting with HE Shyalpa Tenzin RINPOCHE, Kathmandu, Nepal
24 January 2025, 10.30-13.00h
Zunfthaus zur Waag, Zurich

During the stars alumni study tour to Nepal in October 2024, we had the privilege to meet HE Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche who founded the Universal Peace Forum at the WEF on 21 January, 2025. On his way back to Nepal Shyalpa Rinpoche discussed the Peace Forum with a group of people in Zurich. At its core, the Universal Peace Forum aims to break down the barriers of separation – cultural, spiritual, and ideological – that continue to foster fear, hatred, and suffering. In their place, it fosters a shared recognition of our indivisible connection with all existence. The Peace Forum provides a platform to address global challenges such as conflict, climate change and resource depletion for a more peaceful and sustainable future. His Eminence Shyalpa Rinpoche invites global participation to “make peace more fashionable than war and make peace more profitable than war
