It’s the third time the famous Buddhist leader has appeared on the cover of the magazine.

Dalai Lama TIME coverThe Dalai Lama is on the cover of the March 18, 2019, issue of Time magazine. It is the third time he has appeared on the cover of the magazine, having done so previously in 1959 and 2008. A feature article in the magazine profiles the Dalai Lama, his relationship to the government of China, his role in Tibet’s struggle for autonomy, and the controversy around his successor. In the profile, he says President Trump’s foreign and border policies make him “uncomfortable.”

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
