Templeton Prize presentation to the Dalai Lama

The Archbishop of Canterbury will attend a ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral where the Dalai Lama will receive the Templeton Prize for his life's work in encouraging scientific research and harmony among religions.

The £1.1m Templeton Prize, established in 1972, is awarded each year to a living person who has made 'an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works'. Previous winners include Mother Teresa, Revd Dr Billy Graham, Lord Martin Rees, and Brother Roger of Taizé .
