NOTE: This information from TED is worth reviewing!
Dear TEDsters,
On November 12, 2009, we are unveiling the Charter for Compassion, a
document about the core shared value of every world religion and moral code,
the Golden Rule -- the result of 2008 TED Prize winner Karen Armstrong's
wish.
Today, to enable you to participate in the event, we are sharing six short
talks
http://www.ted.com/ on compassion from six different perspectives -- from a
Rabbi, an Imam, a Reverend, a Tenzin, a Swami and a secular voice of
compassion. Together, these six speakers bear witness to the fact that
compassion and the Golden Rule lie at the heart of all religion and all
morality. We hope that in the week following the launch, thousands of
sermons on the nature of compassion will be preached all over the world ...
thousands of discussions will be held around dinner tables ... thousands of
ideas will be shared.
Over 75 events
http://charterforcompassion.org/act/events/ are currently planned across the
globe to help launch the Charter for Compassion. Help us launch the Charter
by attending one of these events or hosting your own; email, blog, write,
broadcast, or offer media space for Charter banners, widgets, and videos.
To get involved, email: armstrong (at) ted.com
TED is about ideas worth spreading -- please help us spread compassion, "the
best idea humanity has ever had."
Our best,
Amy Novogratz
