Brussels, 8 December 2025: This past Sunday, the students of Jamyang Lophel School in Brussels enjoyed a meaningful and memorable visit to the House of Compassion, where a special exhibition honouring the life and legacy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is currently on display. The event offered the children a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of Tibetan history, culture, and the message of compassion that lies at the heart of their heritage.

Guided by their teachers, parents and volunteers, the children explored a rich collection of photographs and quotes, highlighting the major stages of His Holiness’ life, from his childhood in Tibet to his exile in India, from his struggle for human dignity to becoming an emblematic figure of wisdom on the world stage.

For many students born and raised in Europe, the exhibition served as a bridge connecting them to Tibet’s spiritual leader and his enduring values of peace, kindness, and resilience.

The exhibition encouraged the children to reflect on the significance of compassion as a practical tool in everyday life. Teachers noted how meaningful it was for students to see concrete representations of a culture they often learn about through books or at home.

The visit also strengthened the sense of community among families, educators, and students. Several parents joined the tour and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to share such an experience with their children in a space dedicated to understanding and justice.

The excursion was more than an educational activity; it was a moment of reaffirming cultural identity and celebrating the universal values that His Holiness advocates: compassion, non-violence, and respect for all living beings.

The Office of Tibet Brussels extends heartfelt thanks to the House of Compassion for hosting the exhibition and for creating a space where the future generation of Tibetan can reconnect with their heritage in an open and inclusive environment.

This exhibition will remain on display until Wednesday, 24 December, providing opportunity for the visitors not just to admire compassion, but to live it in their daily lives, in their family, community, and beyond.
