On July 6, on his 76th birth­day, His Holiness the Dalai Lama began the Kalachakra for World Peace in Washington, DC. Pema Dhondup has this report from the 11-​​day event that united the descen­dents of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi with thou­sands of Tibetan Americans and other Buddhist prac­ti­tion­ers for the first world kalachakra ini­ti­a­tion in more than five years.
