    80 years on, peace echoes

    Eighty years ago, over 100 million people were killed or wounded in the World Anti-Fascist War. In the summer of 1945, 50 countries came together in San Francisco and agreed on an international treaty known as the UN Charter, which paved the way for the establishment of the United Nations later that year. This formed the political basis of a new international order, one that intended to enshrine the equal rights of all people and maintain peace. How has this order shaped the world we live in today? How are these ambitious goals faring now? And what might be undermining this hard-won order?

    The overlooked history of WWII

    This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the end of the Second World War. While the history of the European and American theaters of World War II is generally well understood, the Asian theater receives much less attention.

    Living Buddha, living wisdom

    What comes to mind when you hear the word "Rinpoche"? Perhaps a respected monk quietly reading sutras—but that's just a stereotype. Balog Rinpoche breaks the mold. A true multi-hyphenate, he founded a band that blends the Songs of Milarepa — a form of national intangible cultural heritage—with contemporary, secular music. He's also a Thangka painter and fluent in Tibetan, Mandarin, and English. He is also a living Buddha—a recognized reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism. What sets the modern-day living Buddha apart? How is Buddhism being preserved in China's Xizang Autonomous Region? How can ancient wisdom help us find balance in today's fast-paced world?
