Tibet House US was founded at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who at the inauguration in 1987 stated his wish for a long-term cultural institution to ensure the survival of Tibetan civilization and culture, whatever the political destiny of the six million people of Tibet itself.
Tibet House US is dedicated to preserving Tibet’s unique culture at a time when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil. By presenting Tibetan civilization and its profound wisdom, beauty, and special art of freedom to the people of the world, we hope to inspire others to join the effort to protect and save it.
The Tibet House will be hosting their 16th Annual Benefit Concert featuring popular artists Iggy Pop, Phillip Glass, Dechen Shak-Dagsay, Sharon Jones, and FKA twigs.
All proceeds will be used to continue hosting cultural and educational programs at the Tibet House.
