Victor Chan, the Dalai Lama Center’s Founding Director, has dubbed them a veritable “dream team”.

The Dalai Lama will also be joined by some familiar faces such as Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk who is often called the Dalai Lama’s “right-hand man”, and Dr. Stephen Covey, author of the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” who shared the stage with the spiritual leader in Salt Lake City in 2001, but also some new faces, including Eckhart Tolle, author of the “Power of Now” who has never before met His Holiness.
