Karen Armstrong won the TED (Technology, Entertaintment and Design) award in February 2008 and she asked TED to help create, launch and propagate a Charter for Compassion that would be written by leading thinkers from a variety of major faiths and would restore compassion to the heart of religious and moral life. The Charter for Compassion was finally officially launched on 12 November 2009 in 60 different locations throughout the world, including Malaysia.
Thousands of people from all over the world contributed to a draft charter on a multilingual website and their comments were presented to the Council of Conscience, a group of notable individuals from various faith traditions, who met in Switzerland in February 2009 to compose the final version. Malaysia is proudly linked to this noble movement through Dr.Chandra Muzaffar, who is on the Council of Conscience and the Chairman of the Malaysian Charter for Compassion movement. The official version of this charter is available on the link below. Welcome and let's create this compassionate world now!

The future of a loving, kind and compassionate Malaysia depends on the values we pass on to the future generations. We the people, need to create, promote and be the living embodiment of Compassion itself to realize a compassionate culture into reality.
