On Saturday, April 25, AHF was honored to host His Holiness the Dalai Lama for a public talk entitled "Peace through Compassion."

More than 7,000 people joined AHF on a beautiful sunny day in Berkeley to hear the funny, charming, and inspiring words of His Holiness as he discussed compassion in people and in nature, including delightful anecdotes on former presidents, his childhood fear of caterpillars, and advice for this year's crop of college grads.

Thanks to actor Sharon Stone, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and AHF Chairman Richard Blum for warming up the crowd and to the thousands of AHF members, friends, and UC Berkeley students who made the day so special.

Proceeds from this talk will bring education, clean water, and much-needed bridges to nomads inside Tibet.

Baer Ridgway Exhibitions is pleased to present EVEREST, a selection of Mount Everest aerial photographs taken in late 1983 by William Thompson on assignment for National Geographic Magazine. These photographs represent the first and only complete aerial imagery ever taken of Mount Everest. These images were created in the cauldron of ongoing geopolitical intrigue. To overfly Tibet required a delicate and difficult navigation of the political, social and religious landscapes of China, India, Tibet and Nepal. This was accomplished through ten years of building partnerships and personal ties through the efforts of the Boston Museum of Science and the National Geographic Society.
