Mahakaruna Cover
Mahakaruna, as a fully-embodied and highly active personal and social transformation program, is yet another important initiative spearheaded by MIMC, to address the many challenges and threats that face our world today – from sectarianism, violence, poverty, hunger, disease, environmental degradation, excessive consumerism, and so on.
Our vision through the various humanitarian and spiritual programs of MIMC is to raise public awareness and recognition of the priceless value of life, gratitude, compassion, our shared humanity, and ecology.
Mahakaruna, expressed through compassionate action, is an urgent call to take care of our planet Earth, our fellow living beings, our human society, so that the air remains pure, the water remains clean, the trees remain green, the animals remain on this earth, and we all come to peacefully co-exist, with joy and well-being, on this very planet, which we all call “home”.
In pursuance of its objectives, MIMC has organized the “Mahakaruna – Compassion in Action” event for the past several years, and the response has been tremendously positive. Spurred on by this success, this year's event(s) will be bigger and bolder than ever before, so that the message of Mahakaruna will spread far and wide.

The National “Mahakaruna - Compassion in Action” event will take place in Delhi on February 4th 2017. Honourable Governors and Chief Ministers, Honourable ministers, senior bureaucrats, diplomats, international guests, and other dignitaries will grace this event in several parts of India.
We strongly feel that this Mahakaruna 2017 event will be a catalyst for all to come together and join hands from every walk of life. This event is for the benefit of all, and open to all, without any discrimination; beyond politics, religion, colour, caste, or national boundaries; celebrating life and humanity.
Faithful followers of the Lord Buddha, with their deep and earnest devotion, have preserved the precious teachings and practice of Mahakaruna in the high Himalayas for over 2,000 years, and it is a sense of this rich, living heritage that will be shared with all those attending this unique gathering in 2017. A group of 30 young cultural artists, drawn from Mahabodhi Devachan in Ladakh- Himalaya, will bring a special message of Mahakaruna, with their celestial music and divine dance, to this auspicious occasion.
Let us all become the light of Karuna and Matriya – (Compassion and love) upholding universal and eternal human values — the true heritage of India!
With your presence and support, this event can become a platform for social transformation and a clarion call to urgently take action, with compassion, to address national, global, social, and ecological challenges.
Everyone is cordially invited to participate in this auspicious, joyful, and uplifting Mahakaruna Compassion in action 2017 celebration!
