In his public talk, *The Path to Compassion,* the monk discussed key tenets of Buddhism and how they can be practiced in our daily lives. In past years, Lama Tenzin's address to the community has reminded its members to be mindful in their interactions with others and offered guidance in achieving a shared, universal hope of being happy. "Happiness cannot be found in physical things like money," he remarked at last year's lecture. "Profound happiness comes from the heart."    You can read more about Lama Tenzin's visit at [27east](http://www.27east.com/news/article.cfm/General-Interest-EH/587327/A-Monk-Teaches-Compassion-By-Creating-A-Mandala-At-The-Ross-School), [The East Hampton Star](http://www.easthamptonstar.com/Education/2019321/Planting-Seeds-Compassion), and [The Sag Harbor Express.](https://sagharborexpress.com/ross-school-to-host-eminent-buddhist-monk-and-professor/)   **Girl Rising** ![Girl Rising](https://blog.ross.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Girl%20Rising.jpg?width=358&name=Girl%20Rising.jpg)Ross School hosted an anniversary screening of G*irl Rising* that featured new footage not included in the film's original release. *Girl Rising* spotlights the unforgettable stories of girls living in the developing world, striving beyond circumstance and overcoming nearly insurmountable odds to achieve their dreams.
